To Remember

It is with great sadness and shock we mourn the loss of two very special friends in our blogging family.  Margie and Bruce Mallin touched many of our lives.  They were tragically killed as they walked together near their RV park in Pismo Beach California.

The driver of a car had intended on killing himself.  Instead he killed our dear friends.  The news took our breath away. Today I've spent time reading other blogs and have been touched by the many testimonies  Their words give me comfort  Like many other bloggers we never met them.  But, we felt like they were a part of our family.     Our thoughts and prayers go out to their family and many friends. 

Together we remember, we grieve, we celebrate their lives, we reflect, and we mourn the loss of two special people. 

Renovations & Maintenance

(Greenfield) We ordered some very cool shades called Magne Shades for our coach at the Escapee Rally in Goshen.  They are held to your windows by very strong magnets.  They arrived this week and they were very easy to install.  They come in a variety of colors and patterns.  You can even custom design your own.

They are very easy to put up and take down.  Inside our coach you can see out. However, you can not see in our coach from the outside during the day.  It dramatically decreased the temperature in our coach after installing.  This is sure to come in handy when we are in Florida and Arizona.  We really like them.

Here is a video demonstration  I found on U-Tube.

John went back to Amish country (Topeka, Indiana) to pick up my wall hugging recliner from Lambright. It fits perfectly in the living room and is very comfortable. Notice the emphases on "my" :). It takes up far less space and does not hit the wall like our previous one.

Our friend Al (see previous 5/11/10 post) came by to help John change the oil in the diesel engine and the generator.  He was able to get  the filters at a great discount for us.  It took 6 gallons of oil.  Amazing!  It was sort of a messy job but with Al's great guidance we saved a lot of money.  John said it was much easier to do than he had anticipated. 

Oops, a little oil on the top knot!

Thanks again Al for all your help!
