RV WASH & HORSE AND BUGGY…..

001
Love my old faithful ladder…
I have had this ladder for over 30 years…it is a RD Werner ladder…I live about 3 mile from their old plant where they made them…got it at a bargain price…take note that it is a step ladder that turns into a 12ft. extension ladder…this would be a great ladder to take in the RV..but it is heavy and awkward for me to use…will see…

RV..horse and buggy….
now that is quite a combo…different mods of transportation as you can get…the last I did any washing of the RV I only got 1/2 of the front done…so today I  finished of that and did the whole drivers side…going to take a trip to WM later then will pull it up so I can was the other side….

In the pic above…this is a site you see all the time around my house…we live in an area of many small Amish communities…they even have a horse barn at WM where they can hitch up the horse and buggy and shop…this guy and his horse were passing by while I was washing the RV….I took care of many Amish ladies coming to the hospital to have babies when I worked in the OB Dept. There were a couple mid wives around in those days but most came to the hospital…You can drive on any back road around here and see Amish houses….guess that’s all for now thanks for looking and come back soon…Blessings G&M
PS..for any that are interested…about cutting the memory foam…I used a electric knife to cut mine for the bed in the van…worked great like cutting butter…

YARD SALE CAMPING FINDS & A HORSE

Wow could not believe my luck today at yard sales! Since I got my van I now have been looking and watching in ernest for any camping needs. And today was the day!. I got this Coleman powerchill cooler on my first stop. You can use it on 12 volt cigarette lighter while driving then plug in to electric when getting to camp ground. I have priced these at about 130 to 150,00 I paid 35.00 for it. The reviews are all excellent and think I got a great deal. It is just like new. lady told me they only used it 3 times and then no longer went camping. Any way I am a happy camper lol.

Look how clean and new it is. Even the box is new looking and undamaged.

And I have been looking for a camp chair that will fold  pretty flat and be sturdy at the same time. Low and behold on my second stop today I found this great like new folding canvas camp chair. Canvas is in great shape not torn or rotted. Just what I have been looking for. Then on my next stop I found a memory form matrice queen size. I know the people and it is nice and clean. (or I would not have bought it) I did not take a pic yet but will when I get ready to install my bed in The Savana. Things are looking up for the rv/camping travels.

And this is not a sight you see every day in town. At least not on my street, at wal mart and such places around here you do, in fact they have a horse barn at wall mart for parking horse and buggy. This was at 7am guess he is going to beat the rush at wal mart, I only live a mile away. He must be taking a short cut.
Working on house: got the blue bedroom done! Scrubbed, cleaned new curtains and painted woodwork. Looks good and makes me feel good that I got it done. Started on the small bedroom. I will post some pic's soon. All for now thanks for looking and come back soon.
