    Mr. PAV - man colds are best treated with chicken soup and rest. Not hot dogs, soda, a run through Costco followed by a giant ice cream cone! Obviously you have recovered.

    I must say, that ice cream cone looks mighty good 😂

    Almost recovered Yooly! If I was FULLY recovered I would have actually gone SHOPPING at Costco... and dangerous for days if not weeks! All I did was get a dog and a pop and, after walking around their neighborhood, a "tiny" ice cream :wink:

    ICE CREAM!!!!! Just finished loading the trailer for tomorrows departure. Was supposed to leave at 6 - but everything has taken so long - and moving the ferry date a week closer didn't help. So it will be later in the morning. Need a decent sleep if I'm going to drive.
    WOW - the trailer is FULL!

    Thank you :)

    Was hoping to leave at 6. That will happen at 1 now. I've built in extra time - didn't think I would use it at the very beginning - but that is okay too!!! :)

    It was getting a bit crazy near the end but it's all in there !

    This morning I'm installing some brackets and the 2 x 4 to hold it shut 🤣

    Somehow it feels like this could be related to eating… Being overly full… Just pure silliness

    hahaha @lauriekallis ~ good solution! where there's a will, there's a way... that's quite a load there... would like to know when you can - was it easier to load or unload, grins ;)

    Happy trails Laurie! Be careful out there. I hope you have some burly boys to help you unload and move everything into the house. Maybe by next summer I may be ready to explore Newfoundland?

    I did not realize you had to book the ferry to NFLD in advance, but I guess, especially with a trailer, it makes sense, and time of year too I suppose. But that is a firm deadline then 🤔

    Uh-oh.... driving 'n deadline would make this puppy unhappy! Hopefully Laurie will get a chance to take us on her roadtrip! :)

    I am here! Thank you all for your wonderful comments and good wishes ... I just did not have the werewolf to message along the way. Won't be unpacking until Friday but it's here the trailer made it I made it the puppy made it and I'm sleeping in my daughter-in-law's guestroom and it's so beautiful after sleeping in that truck along the way!

    Here's a couple of bedtime pictures

    Laurie?! You were sleeping in the truck!? Did the puppy give you any room?!?!?! How did you manage to curl up in there?!?!?!?
  • lauriekallis
    lauriekallis Posts: 4,770 Member
    Sleeping in truck required curling up 😁
    No budget for 4 nights of hotels. That's what happens when you make a spur of the moment decision to try and buy a house 😜

    Puppy was really good about the whole thing .. . Most of the time she allowed me to curl up around her edges 🙂❤️

    Well Laurie you’ve proven that you’re one determined woman who will make some sacrifices to get to where she needs to go. Surely that transfers into other peskier challenges in your life like food control?

    I'm confused - who bought the house?? Laurie, are you moving to NFLD?

    I hope I got this right. Laurie and son bought a small house in Newfoundland which they can use when visiting other son & family. And to rent out at other times. I’m sure there is more to the story but I think that’s the basics.

    Hello: I am inquiring about potential mid September availability! I can bring sleeping bags! :wink:

    You got it, Yooly!

    You would think I could translate this determination into long-term food control. But so far only short term.

    If this thing comes together (Still having a heckuva time on the mortgage broker front) there is nothing that I would like more than to have you and That beautiful woman of yours be the first guests, PAV

    There are beds and linens and all that stuff in the trailer outside of my old house. So sleeping bags will probably not be necessary 😁
