Countdown to leaving

We started out the month of April by going to Chandler to purchase a winch large enough to pull our car trailer.  It is a monster!  We went nearly to Casa Grande and saw parts of AZ we had not visited before.  Then on the 2nd we went to the movie and saw “God is Not Dead-2” opening weekend.  I met the sister and parents of the producer of the movie and told them that explains why there were scenes in the movie from Phoenix.  We both thoroughly enjoyed the movie and went back the next day to see “Miracles from Heaven”.

Larry was up at 6 AM several days the second week of April to get everything ready for our RV pad.  We ended up landscaping Dawn and Vince’s front yard for our turn around area but it looks great and Dawn and Vince are happy with it.

We had several doctor appointments during the month, trying to get everything done before we leave in May.  Larry had a colonoscopy and is getting knee braces for both knees.  He also had cortisone shots in both knees and hopefully the knee pain, using the braces and the shots, will not bother him while we are gone.

We spent several afternoons getting the area where we put the shed/trailer at the end of our RV pad ready and April 29 was 'the day' to move the shed from our leased spot to Dawn and Vince’s.  It was a slow, tedious process but it went well and the shed it now parked in its new home.

We have less than three weeks to get everything else ready to leave and are looking forward to once again being “on the road”.  We missed traveling last summer!
