PACKING THE FIVER

Packing:
We have about half or our "stuff" packed into the 5er. All that is left is a few clothes, shoes, toiletries, and books. We will put the slides in tonite in case it is raining in the morning. We're not going far tomorrow, just to my brother's house in Circleville, Ohio. It will only be about a 2 hour drive, all on interstate, so it shouldn't be bad. Wish us luck with hooking up the 5er and getting "on the road" for the first time. It will be just a mini trip for about a week, to try all the systems out in the 5er. My brother, Alan, called me this morning, and said that they're supposed to get 2 inches of rain tomorrow evening. We're hopeful that by getting up early and getting on the road we'll beat the rain to Circleville!

Loading up and Sad Dog:
I have everything ready to be loaded into the fiver, but every time I go out to it, to put more "stuff" in, my dog, Dutchess gets very upset with me! I hate to see her like this, and I can't take her this time. She will be staying with our son Gary, and his dog Hannah this next week. Right now , as I type this she is laying at my feet guarding me. I guess she thinks if she's right beside me, that I can't sneak out without her. That means that someone else besides me will have to take things out, and then I can put them away after she goes to bed. She's worse than a kid, and I thought I had raised all 3 of mine!

Internet:
Alan,my brother, has roadrunner so I should be able to keep up with my blog while we're there, and Mike even got me a router, so I can use it with the laptop in the 5er! Pretty cool, huh? Well that's it for today, Mike just got home from his doctor appointment, so time to fix dinner!
