Here comes the cold. . .

Day 6:
Feel free to assume that if there are no updates from RV land it was a good day. Honestly, most of the day yesterday we were probably pretty confident in our transition to house on wheels. The morning was uneventful, which is the opposite of chaotic. I'm not really sure that there is anything to the left of uneventful on the scale and if there is we haven't seen it. Maybe by day 25 we will.. . but not yet.

We did learn one thing yesterday. Jenny P makes some delicious enchiladas!! As generous as her offering of dinner was, even a basically delivered meal is still hard to eat in friendly confines of our little 200 square feet of heaven. Fortunately, the weather held out and we were able to eat outside at our picnic table. The first time all five of us had sat for dinner together in over 9 days!! Don't get me wrong, we (I) will never turn down a cooked meal for us, but after last nights experience, we (I) would rather we sit at your table and enjoy your company!

When the worst I can say about Wed night was that I hit my head pretty hard on the cubbies above the bed you can bet it was a good night! Of course you know what that means. . .

Day 7:
I guess the start of day 7 comes at 12:00 am on Thursday morning. And that is about the time the cold started coming. When you live in a house insulated from the weather by some aluminum and vinyl you can feel it a little earlier than most. And it was about midnight that I realized that the soft blanket that we use to cover up with was not going to be enough. Of course, Brandi wasn't quite in the same predicament, not only was she not sleeping against the outer wall, she was also keeping warm thanks to our snuggle bugs who are enjoying the comfort of our bed - Desi and Lela.

The worst part of the day could possibly be that when we woke up at 6:30 it was the warmest part of the day! The rain and cold front that kept the Rangers from winning the World Series Wed night is making its way through North Texas. While we were all at work/school the temperatures here kept dropping. By the time I got home at 6:00 not only had the temperature dropped into the upper 40's but the rain started falling.

Now, if it was only the sound of the rain and the cold keeping us cooped up we could survive. In fact as I type this we are surviving. Sure my feet are a little cold (because the dryer that costs $1.50 a load doesn't seem run long enough to actually dry our clothes) and I'm watching the biggest baseball game of the year on a 13 inch TV, and thanks to all of you with windscreen TVs can't even see the score. Unfortunately, our biggest worry is not if sound of the rain hitting our metal room will keep us awake all night, it's where will the next place to start leaking be? Currently my bucket that normally serves as my cornhole bag carrier has been transformed into the water catcher in the bathroom. The water that is coming from the skylight in the bathroom - which I'm sure is a major upgrade in the RVing world.

According the weather.com the rain will only last till tomorrow morning. . . perfect!!
Until then - Go Rangers!
