Thursday found us at the Yuma Flea Market ... the biggest one I have ever been to. We found several things on our list, including some nice fold-up chairs which have a side table for your happy hour drink. By now Dan has made several Walmart and Home Depot stops and there is barely room for me to sit in the back seat. There are also two huge boxes in the very back that they tell me are wood for Quartzite. Hmmm the boxes say lamps and books. I'm thinking maybe Dan forgot to unpack the jeep before they left!!
The car stacked to the ceiling with chairs, a foot stool, some step covers, a couple gourds, "wood" and miscellaneous other "good stuff", we headed to Five Guys for lunch. I guess this won't be our favorite burger joint any more. I got HALF a hamburger patty and for the second time, Dan didn't get bacon on his bacon cheeseburger. I do love their peanuts though!!!
That afternoon I snuggled with the puppies for a couple of hours and started unhooking my RV for an appointment Friday morning at La Mesa Yuma. My list had grown quite a bit since arriving here ... door won't stay open and squeaks so loud it wakes the neighbors, loose wires caused by La Mesa Davis digging in my dash to fix the camera, shower door bottom scraper fell off, night shade wouldn't go up ... and the worst of all, the ceiling seems to have come unglued and is sagging a little. The worst part is being inconvenienced when you have two dogs and a parrot.
Friday morning Patty and Dan put Jonathan in their bedroom ... remember they have a BIG cat named Gracie. I was just hoping she had been an indoor cat long enough to have forgotten that bird eating thing. Later in the day we let her in to see what would happen. Jonathan is very territorial ... and no one gets too close. When he headed to the cage floor after her, I pushed Miss Gracie away ... her entire body was fuzzed up!!!!
Cooper and Jessie lived in my car for the day and we switched off puppy sitting and shopping. Lunch at Cracker Barrel was awesome, as usual. Best Mac and Cheese EVER!!
La Mesa Yuma people are VERY nice ... they fixed everything they could in one day (which was almost everything on the list), sending a memo to Tiffin about how they should proceed with the ceiling. I will definitely give Tiffen a call too and let you know the plan. I like that Yuma has the same service reps as when I bought my motorhome. I have had three different reps in 9 months at Davis and less than satisfactory service. Might be worth the long trip back here to get the ceiling fixed.
By the end of the day, everyone was happily back in their own home and Gracie's guest was alive and out of her reach.
No idea what's on the schedule today, but I did pick up enough really great yarn at Joanns Craft Store to make two afghans. Not exactly the best prices, but they have the biggest selection of the best yarns I have ever found. Can't wait to get started!!
