Did some cleaning of windows and shades. Kim had to work and Danny and Dave took off for looking at new cars then Dave was headed for Lowe’s again, I think between Lowe’s and The Home Depot those are his new homes while working on Kim’s house.
Around 2pm David showed up so we sat and visited with them until almost 6pm. Kim go home from work early so she got to visit with them too a little bit.
Not a lot going on so I might just do weekly updates from now on.
Happy 5th Anniversary to Kim and Danny Gonzalez.
Kim and Danny took off to, to the bank and then Kim had a Bridal Shower to go to. Dave took off for some shopping then on to CVS to get a prescription transferred from the AZ. CVS. I watched the kids and cleaned up toys.
Around 11:30 a.m. Mike and Trini showed up and we sat and visited all day. Trini got a tour of the house and yard. Mike was here at the beginning and helped Danny paint the house. He was amazed how much it had changed since they moved in. He said the yard is 100% better, Danny had the gardener clean up everything plus seed it. With watering they do have some green now.
Mike ended up leaving the table saw because Danny is going to need it again for when he replaces the down stairs floor again. The wood floor he had put in is all scratched up now and the salesman said it wouldn’t scratch. So we will have the fun job of helping Danny get out the flooring and replacing it with something else. That’s later on though.
After Mike left Kim and Danny went out for an anniversary dinner so we watched the kids until they got back. Then it was back to the RV.
Friday, and it’s moving day to the Kid’s house, I just hope the electrical is hooked up correctly and we don’t burn the kid’s house down. I trust Dave totally, but I always think the worst, and thank goodness the worst never happens.
We closed up the RV and headed for Sam’s Club to fill up the RV before parking at Kim’s. Dave said go ahead and open up the gate area so he can park the RV. I took off and tried to find Kim’s house going the back way in, well needless to say I got lost and Dave made it to the house before I did. He didn’t have the heart to yell at me because I was already upset because I got lost.
He ended up backing into the kids backyard because otherwise our big front windshield would be facing the sun in the afternoon, and it is way to hot for that right now. Our choice was view the backyard or view the street, in front of their house. I would much rather view the front and not having that sun beating down on us in the afternoon.
Once everything was set up it was back to work on the house. Dave putting in the living room fan, I washed down the front bathroom walls and ceiling. After the fan was up Dave started on something else but can’t remember what it was.
Once Danny was home from work, we had dinner together and talked. Kim had made a real good new recipe, “Albino Enchiladas” with rice and beans, very nice.
We got over to the kids house at 7:30am so Dave and Danny could move their trailer into the backyard, from where it was parked in front. Can’t bring the RV over until the trailer is moved. After the trailer was moved Dave came in and ate breakfast before finishing up the electrical. Danny was driving over to the rental and picking up the washer and dryer, he had help and didn’t need Dave’s help.
After Dave shocked himself he then said he needed help. I went out and we worked together to get the electrical done. Once done and Marcus went down for his nap, Kim and Dave left to go test drive some vans while Madison and I hung out. We could have moved the RV then but I wanted to have 1 more night there, so once Marcus, woke up from his nap, we could use the pool at the RV Park.
The pool was so nice, we all had a good time. Kim then went to the RV restaurant with the kids to have dinner. It wasn’t something we wanted so we stayed in the RV. Before dinner was done for them, Marcus got restless so I ended up going over to help out.
When Kim and the kids left Dave and I ended up going out for sushi, very nice and relaxing dinner.
Big move tomorrow, how the electrical works!
Let’s see how long it will be before we regret coming back to Bakersfield so early. We were told, when we started this adventure, we had to be back by September 15th for Madison and Marcus’s Birthday Party. If Kim was in the old house we probably would have stretched it out until then, but since they got the new house and there is so many little things need to be done Dave even got excited about coming here and working with his hands. Like I said, lets see how long before we regret it. TK
Last night before we left the house Dave had put up the new light fan but it wasn’t working so that was the 1st project. Kim and Danny were both at work and Marina was watching Marcus. After a couple hours we gave up and just knew the switch was broke and it would have to go back. We then headed for Lowes and Home Depot. Needed to get working on the electrical so we could get moved into the kids yard and get out of the RV Park.
We went to Lowe’s and got some of the electrical stuff we needed and the showers heads that we needed for Kim’s Rental. Forgot the renters had called and there was a problem with the shower heads so Danny had asked us to replace them. We got back at 2pm, Marcus was taking a nap so Marina left and Dave and I sat down and had a snack. We relaxed and cooled off while Marcus napped. Around 3:30 Dave took off and went to the rental house to replace the shower heads.
After Marcus got up he and I went out in the backyard to play, in the heat. Dave worked more on the electrical, just the set up not into the juice stuff yet. I had gotten the little pool out and filled it with water so Marcus played in the water and got soaking wet, it was fun. Danny got home a little after 6pm and Madison didn’t want to come outside with us, too hot, plus, she was tired after being at school all day.
Marcus wanted back into the house so I took off his clothes and diaper and had him stand on their little table and hosed him off, he was muddy. Dave went and got a towel so when I was done hosing him off I handed him off to Dave. Danny and I went inside after that and cooled off. Danny and Dave went and picked up pizza for dinner at Costco, Kim is at work, then Dave and I headed back to the RV.
Back to Bakersfield, that was the 1st stop we made when heading out on this “Adventure”. Left Arizona on 5/17/12, it’s been a long/short 3 months. When you think about the grand babies it seems like we have been gone forever but as of seeing and having some different adventures it just went by so fast. We covered 6,500 miles from the time we crossed over the border to the time we crossed back, that’s a lot of miles.
Left Las Vegas about 9:30am and it was already in the high 90’s. The heat is just too much for living in an RV, house is fine but not an RV. The air conditioner can only work so hard, so to live here we have to be in a house. I don’t know how all these people in the RV Park that live here fulltime can handle it, I guess you get use to it or just stay away until night time.
Landed at the Bakersfield RV Resort around 3:20pm, got set up and went over to Kim’s new house. Loved seeing those grand babies again, we then left and went to Madison’s gymnastics class, which was at 5:30pm. After gymnastics we came back to the house had some dinner, played with the kids, then headed back to the RV. Start work tomorrow on Kim’s house.
I’m 3 days soon 4 days behind of posting, will get caught up just very busy at Kim’s and leaving the computer there didn’t help any.
