It's always something!

The trailer damage caused by tire separation near Battle Mountain, NV


My iris withstanding the snow in May. So glad God made them strong.


SNOW in May in Oregon-who would have thought!


Our "For Sale by owner" sign in front of our home base

A request from the last blog for a picture of the Bug


We left sunny AZ on May 3 and that evening just as we were approaching Battle Mountain, NV we had another tire failure on the trailer. We used Coach-Net to change the tire and pick up the pieces for return to Goodyear. We arrived back to home base late May 4 and were greeted by REALLY cold weather--it went down to 20` and then snowed--four different days in May, the last being on May 20! After the first week here our Aqua-Hot furnace quit and because the heat pumps won't work below 35` we had to resort to portable electric heaters. PTL for them! The Aqua-Hot still isn't fixed as it has been too cold for Larry to get in there and check it out.

We planned a yard sale for the weekend of May 14-15 and the weather was nice for those two days--again Praise the Lord! We did well but still have lots to sell. We put up 'For Sale by owner' signs and have showed the place 8 times but nothing firm yet. That will come in God's time and it also gives us more time to get the place in order. We have discovered we are slower than we used to be!

We received notification from Goodyear that they will pay for the trailer tire and the trailer damage. Another PTL!!

Another praise this month--my computer will be 4 years old on July 2, 2010 and that is when my warranty expires. I have had problems with it from day one and Dell has been to the coach at least six times trying to fix it and it again was causing problems so this time Larry asked them if they would replace the computer and PTL they did! The 'new' computer has many extras (like a camera) and it has Windows 7. I have had a few 'issues' but between talking to Dell and Microsoft, they have been worked out. I feel very blessed to have an updated computer for very little outgo!!
