Move Complete
Yesterday, Amy and I drove into Austin to finish up the cleaning of the townhouse, take the last of the stuff to Goodwill, and wait for Salvation Army to pick up the washer and dryer plus a couple of other large items.
Jason is lending us is washer and dryer which are much newer then the ones we had in Austin. I got that set when I bought the house on Dull Knife in 1997. The woman who sold me that house had had them for years. Hopefully, the buzzer on this dryer isn't long and obnoxious. The old one drove Amy crazy!!
I've got most of the common area stuff unpacked. The china cabinet is all set up with Grandma's china. I don't ever use the stuff. We are too everyday-plate-or-fastfood kinda gals. But I like to see them through the glass cabinet doors.
I still can't believe how much stuff we still have. If we had wanted to move directly into an RV, we'd have a problem. I'm glad we have the mobile home to live in for the next year or so. And I'm glad we will be using it for a home base for when we are in Texas to visit family and to stay sometime out of the year.
Still can't decide on a 5th wheel vs. a motorhome. If money was no object I'd go with the motorhome and towing Amy's car behind it. Don't know why that really appeals to me.
We lived in a 5th wheel for a year. It was 34 and half feet long. It was great to live in, but a hassle to tow.
Sure a motorhome can be long too, but I like the idea of having the toad to drive when we are wherever we are rather then a big truck like the F350 I had to tow the 5th wheel with.
Need to do some more research. I'd like to buy something in May or June of next year. That way we have the summer to get it ready and to get used to driving in it. We can take a couple of weekend trips in it to get the kinks worked out.
