The Last Train

 I took a sleeping pill, not that it worked or anything.  There's nothing like working yourself to the bone and being so tired you can't sleep.  Elva says I overthink it.  She's right!!!  She also asked me who was going to help me take the bed apart.  

Ummm no one.  Remember born and raised on a ranch? That's how you end up tough and self reliant.  I told her I can throw hay bales in the back of my truck.  Taking a bed apart is easy peasy!   

Next I moved on to the kitchen.  All the cupboards are bare.  I still have to wrap up the TV, but I'm getting there.

I was a nervous wreck when the expert at dismantling one of these beasts was late.  I could feel the nerves creeping up my back.  He finally showed up and we both went to work.  I took a lot of pictures, thinking I was going to set it back up when it arrived in California.  By the time we got to the table part, I threw that thought right out the window.  Good grief .... this thing is complicated!!!

Amazingly, we got the machine in a huge box that actually fit in the back seat of my truck, along with three table panels.  I figure it's the equivalent of a husband and three kids, because as you already know, I'm stressing about getting up and over the hills on the way to California.  

The two big end pieces were placed against the wall in the RV, wrapped in two quilts and my comforter to keep it in place and hopefully not damage the RV walls.  Cooper and I have about 12" where we can crawl into the bed.

Here comes the company.  Once inside, the buyer said OH WOW!!  That's a good sign.  They are from the Dragoon area.  Maybe we should just switch houses, because I love it there.  They liked everything and stayed for about 90 minutes, measuring rooms to be sure their furniture would fit.  Nice!!  I'm hoping I get an offer in the next few days.  Oh ... and they have a fifth wheel ... perfect for the RV cover.

Way too early this morning we will pick up the U-Haul truck and get it packed.  After that's done, I will take off for Quartzsite with a big sigh of relief.  Dan will head out with the truck on Tuesday.  

And so my friends ... this is the last train passing by.  I'll miss the view for sure.  I'll see you in Quartzsite!!

Just for giggles, Mother Nature gave me a great send off last night.  Pictures tomorrow.
