The Bed Remains

We were a little nervous that Dad might see the empty bed on our blog yesterday, but he is very busy at work right now. We are probably safe until he gets home.  Last night, I was in the bed and Scout really wanted it.  She kept crying to Mama.  Mama said she would have to wait her turn.  Scout has been in it since we returned from our 6 a.m. walk.

 I am keeping the dinette bed warm.  All is well in our home this morning.

Mama ordered a knitting loom project book last month from Amazon.  The delivery time is from February 25th until March 12th. It has not arrived and there is no tracking available.  She checks with the office every day.  She finally decided to check out YouTube for some patterns.  She found one yesterday that she liked.

It is a potholder. Dad said "How many potholders do you need?"   Well, I bet she needs a few more because she likes this project and she has a lot of yarn.  BOL!  

We finally figured out our mystery neighbors.  Well, we don't know their connection to each other, but they are working at the rodeo.  They have a parking pass in their car.

Remember the really nice neighbors that brought Mama the Subway sandwich when we moved here?  They left on Sunday.  Mama was really sad to see them leave.  They are headed further south. They said they drove by our place and noticed we had a new motor home.  The man said "You really stepped up in the world!"  Tuesday afternoon, we had our door open and we heard someone say "Hello, hello?" We went to the door and it was a couple from Houston, MO.  They wanted to know what part of Missouri we call home. They talked for a while and said they noticed we had upgraded our motor home.  They are here for medical reasons.  The man said he just found out he is CANCER-FREE!   Mama congratulated him.  Mama was sad to see our old friends leave, but then we made new friends. That is the way it is in our life now.  There are a lot of goodbyes and nice to meet yous going on.

Still Holding Onto The Bed

Scout and I have been able to hold onto the remaining bed so far. We are taking turns occupying it.  The only time it is vacant is when we are on walks. This plan seems to be working for us.

Scout is in the bed, so I'm on the dinette bed.

See, Scout is in the bed.

Scout's turn.

Holding down that bed is exhausting.  I needed a break.

Dad commented that Scout looked pretty comfy here.  We thought the bed might get thrown out, but so far so good.

Dad is in Denver until the 15th. We are doing fine, but a little bored. We think we can relax about the bed issue while Dad is away.  Mama is pretty soft. 

We are going to stay in state parks while we are in Denver for the first month.  They only allow you to stay 14 days at each park and I think you have to wait 45 days before you can come back.  They also charge an entrance fee each day, but we are going to buy a $70 pass that is good for a year. It is cheaper to buy the pass than pay the fee each day.  It will not cost us anymore than it costs us to stay here.  We may have to stay at a private park if we are there for more than a month.  We are excited to be staying in state parks again.  We will have more room and there will be trails to hike!  Mama doesn't have to worry about finding a laundromat since she has her own machine. Life is good!

An Ugly Rumor

There is an ugly rumor going around our new home. We have heard that our wonderful new beds may end up in the Jeep!  One of the beds has already been sentenced to a life in the Jeep. While it makes riding in the Jeep really comfy, it does nothing for our daily life.  Scout and I decided to take matters into our own paws.

Just try to take this bed away from us.

Scout:  "I am not sure I like this arrangement, Joey."

Joey:  "Shhh....Mama is still watching."

Joey:  "You are right this is not very comfortable."  
Scout:  "Yeah, this is not a good solution."

If they take our bed away, where will we sleep?

I just really don't understand what our folks are thinking.

Almost Wordless Wednesday 2/27/13

Sticking your tongue out while laying on the ground can result in a surprise.

If a leaf in the mouth  is the worse thing that happens to you, it's a good day.
