By the time I had opened the downstairs Window Shades then had the makings for breakfast ready I was reading at my Computer before 7:30 this morning. The Sun was hidden behind a wall of Clouds making us wonder if Spring would ever truly arrive. Kathy joined me downstairs shortly after 8:00. It felt good knowing we had no appointments to worry about today which would give us a chance to get to some other chores done that we have been putting off. We did take the time to finish our morning Coffee/Tea at the Computers but once they were done we were on the move so as not to waste any time.

That was when we heard the small Power Digger coming coming down our street. At Wildwood Golf and RV Park we are in what is called the Old Section. It has Mature Trees and Narrow Ten Foot Wide Streets that were made Twenty-Seven Years ago for smaller Travel Trailers to use. Now when Seasonal Tenants like ourselves with large Trailers return in the Spring we end up tearing up the Grass across the road. Last year Joe the owner watched me back in and could not believe how easily I did it but I still hit the Grass across the street. Since Monday the Staff have been removing a Two Foot Grass Strip from the front of everyone’s Site and packing it with Gravel. Lets see how a Fourteen Foot wide Street is for backing in these big Trailers next year.

With my Raynauds sleeping in temperatures lower then 50 F(10 C) makes it so I basically lay there shivering all night. What we did to solve that problem was to find Micro Fiber Bedding which keeps me comfortable. With the Roller-Coaster Weather that we have experienced since arriving back in Ontario today The Weather Network has finally stopped forecasting those lower nighttime temperatures. That meant it was time to change to our Bamboo Sheets today. They will also help us to keep cooler during the heat of the summer.

After I made the Bed up with the Fresh Sheets it was also time to sort and treat the rest of our Laundry. Kathy had already been busy sorting more of the shelves in the closet but knowing I’d be gone for some time made Vegetable Soup for an early lunch along with a Pudding Cup for dessert.

When I arrived at the Park Laundry Room I realized that lots of people had the same idea. I could only get Two Washers to start because the rest were busy. When someone else took their Clothes out I tried to get it before someone else did. It took nearly Five Hours to wash, dry and fold all our Sheets, Towels and Clothes.

Finally arriving back Home Kathy had just finished a number of other chores that she has the special touch for. Having had to stand for nearly the entire time I was away made me feel the need to sit for a short while before putting away as much of the Laundry as possible.

For supper while I was grilling some Spare Ribs on our Weber Q Kathy was busy inside making a wonderful Caesar Salad along with some Niblet Corn. Everything tasted wonderful and we topped it off with a Yogurt Cup and Cookies for dessert.

Once we finished cleaning the Dishes I headed outside for a few more chores. First was to close and cover our Weber Q then I proceeded to dump and back-flush our Waste Tanks. We learned that the smell we were getting from our Black Tank was due to our using Chemicals to break down the Waste. Since we stopped using them our Tanks created their own Emezines that break down the Waste and hardly ever gives off any odor. By back-flushing the Black Tank using our Grey Waste we are not wasting any Natural Resources.

Tomorrow we both have things we’ll be doing on our own. Thank you for following along and feel free to leave a comment.

Be Safe and Enjoy!

It’s about time.
