So foggy even buzzards won’t fly . . .
9 Days and Counting . . .
We woke up this morning to such a solid blanket of fog that we could hardly see the bayou in front of us. We left the rig about 9:15, stopping by the park dumpster to drop off some garbage and do a little shopping while we were there. You remember Dumpster Shopping, don’t you?
Found this really nice painting that may end up in our granddaughter’s room,
and this nice hanging plant that we decided to leave for another shopper.
Heading down FM 517, we passed the vulture roosting area, only to find that the weather was so socked in that even they weren’t flying. They were just sitting around on buildings and signs in the area. Must be a real help to have vultures perched on the roof of your restaurant.
We got to the storeroom a little before 10, picked up the rental truck, got my mother’s washer and dryer loaded up and were ready to roll. I couldn’t find a place to take them, so I just put them out on the street before the trash pickup today.
And according to our daughter, everything was gone this evening when they got home. Gone is gone.
We were running short on time to get the rent truck back, so we immediately headed down to League City, stopping off at the Raceway to top off the diesel tank, and getting the truck back with about 20 minutes to spare.
Next up was lunch at King Food for a big bowl of Hot and Sour Soup, certainly the weather for it. We’re really going miss this place when we hit the road. Along with several others, as far as that goes.
Then we stopped off at a client’s to drop off about 4000 address labels for his next mail-out.
After that we went by HEB to stock up on some of their coffees to take on our travels this year.
Next was Office Depot to pick up some ballpoint pens, and a large file box to hold some of my mother’s papers that we kept out of the storeroom.
About 2pm we met Chris and Linda at the storeroom to finish transferring the last of my mother’s stuff into our other storeroom.
Finally we were heading home with only two more stops.
The first was the Holiday World RV Sales to drop off a stack of Gypsy Journals, and then Kroger’s for Lotto tickets and Starbuck’s Cinnamon Dolce Lattes from Starbucks.
A few minutes after we got home, Eldy and Jeannie showed up so I took over a bottle of Joint Juice for Jeannie to try, and a stack of Gypsy Journals for them to hand out as they travel west.
