We are here in Washington and what an eventful trip it was. A couple of flat tires along the way, stops to visit family, flying by friends at odd hours of the morning so unable to stop, and then to get within 60 miles of our destination and lose the transmission on our van. Argh!
After much expense of towing vehicle and trailer to the house and then to the shop, paying for a new transmission and much stress, we are finally slowing down.
The new transmission will arrive at the shop from Dodge tomorrow and then be installed, so hopefully we will have the van back on Monday. I myself am still having heart palpatations over the 3100.00 price tag on the transmission and installation but at least we are all here and in one piece. That is a good thing.
We did manage to locate a new gym, The Firehouse Gym. Seems like an okay place and amazingly is the only place close to us that is no a "Woman Only" gym. There are 6 woman only gyms in the immediate area and then just the one that will allow me to continue working out with Hubby. So, I am in the process of fighting with Gold's Gym to cancel our membership and trying to get signed up with the new gym.
Meanwhile, Sherry is thrilled that we are here and we have been helping her with projects around here. Chris and I spent one day putting a new roof on the porch while Hubby fixed her back door and took care of some leaks in the roof of the small trailer she has on the property. This weekend I am tackling her media room which must be re-arranged and have the new TV stand put together and a lot of stuff discarded and/or relocated in some fashion.
Cheyenne is happy to be here and has taken on the role of the "animal custodian". She is in charge of feeding the animals in the morning which include Sherry's 5 chickens (Eve, Rody, Lillith, Jezebel & Fee), the rescued rabbit (Pooh Bear), the dogs (Ben and Blue), her Rat (Kittsipimi) and spoiling the two cats (Amber & Felix). She also spent some time with the sidewalk chalk writing "I Love Washington" on the driveway. LOL
So now it is time to make a few contacts and get started on some new projects. I promised BuffMother to assist her with a new project so I must get in touch with her and get that ball rolling, get Cheyenne situated in her school work and lay out my winter crafting and beading projects. :) And of course get in some awesome workouts.
More from the home front later........
