Update

,I really didn't realize how long it has been since I have updated again. Since we are not traveling and have been staying put here in Idaho there's not much to blog about.  We are just living life.  We continued to have problems with our coach and have been attempting to fix them.   Here's a review of last 2 months.

June 1 We moved to a cute little RV park called Alpine.  It was in a wooded area behind a little store and on highway 95.  The traffic sounds were not bad at all.  We heard trains sometimes but that was okay.  Our coach, we realized, had mold in it.  This was found when cleaning under the bathroom sink when a foul smell was noticed.  The mold was caused by a leak under the sink.  It grew on the cabinet shelves.  We cleaned it twice and it came back.  We also had a leak in the salon area or living room by the kitchen.  The month of June was spent trying to find the leak and contacting the dealer who was a nice enough guy and said he would get us into another coach and sell this one.  The bummer thing was that he was leaving on vacation for 3 weeks.  (Fabulous)  We had to wait until he came back.  He did email us other coaches which were available but more money than this one and smaller.   Upon his return after the 4th of July holiday we decided not to change coaches but to fix the problem with this one and keep our humble little home which we love.  We have also effected many repairs which we would not be reimbursed for.  To much moula to lose and then pay more for another coach, No thanks I take what I have.

We also had to move out of our spot at the Alpine RV park because they booked up and we didn't tell them we planned on staying all summer.  So we moved to a spot next to our storage shop where all of stuff is for us to go through, sell and repack etc.  We realized we have a place to dump, we have water and all we needed was electrical.  My brother sent over one of his guys to help us out putting in a 50 amp plug.  Now were are set up next to our garage that is bigger then our house.  It great because we don't have to pay for our space only the rent on the shop.

My food allergies have been kicking my bootie.  For those of you who don't know I am allergic to corn, citric acid, chocolate and peanuts.  My big 4 list.  I have also chosen to go gluten free, vegetarian  and no milk which is really not offering me much in the form of food.  I have to be creative.  Now I am just looking for different ways of cooking veggies, getting my protein and dealing with this.

August: Currently still going through out stuff from selling the house.  We have sold all the furniture and only have our bed and 2 bar stools left with some assorted boxes with pictures, accessories etc.  Tom has his tools left but he seems to be keeping those for now.  The truck will have more room in it now.

Tom has had another bout with skin cancer on his forehead and will be needing to take care of that soon.

Next post will be our adventure through the Hiawatha Bike Trail...
