Marching on

We went to our first INTRO FMCA rally in Tucson the first week of February.  The weather was wonderful and we had a good time, meeting people God wanted us to meet  We replaced our day/night window blinds with ShadePro Legacy blinds the last day.  I was so impressed with them I called to see if the company sells just the fabric as I wanted to replace the windshield  privacy shades when we are parked.  They do not, so my next step was the nearby commercial fabric shop.  The Legacy blinds are solar with 95%UV protection but the best I could find was 85% UV protection but it was on sale at 50% off.  I ended up making shades for all our windows that were not covered by the Legacy blinds and I’m thrilled with them!  We also replaced our broken flagpole while we were in Tucson.

We continue to play Mexican Train each Friday night and Vince often wins but Larry won a game last Friday so he was feeling great.

Our insurance renews in March so we both took the on line defensive driving course to save $200 on our insurance over the next three years.

Larry has put up two solar powered security light and now is working on putting electric under the  patio to the other side by the wall.  When we laid out the patio he put a pipe under the patio just for that purpose.

We went out to dinner at Chili’s with our neighbors, Randy and Isabelle and had an enjoyable evening.  We are hoping to see them again this summer when they visit OR in their new 5th wheel.

We continue to prepare for our departure in two months now.  The weather is again turning nice.  I cannot complain though, as we have had a mild winter.
