The best news of all, is that the RV is SOLD. The new owner picked it up on Thursday. I didn't get the price that I wanted but I think it was a reasonable price. For me, it selling the RV was stressful. I wanted to be close by when I had someone interested in it. Now I can figure out what I am going to do next.
A couple of new pieces of furniture.
A friend here in the apartment building had the above TV stand available. It took a while for me to get it because of Covid-19. This unit gives me more storage, haha, and is also a little higher than the previous stand. There was nothing wrong with the previous one, I just like wood furniture better. The left hand corner of the top is a great place to keep, of course what else, doggie treats.
During my cleaning of the RV, my brother found the above corner cupboard in one of their storage units. When I saw it, I thought it was perfect for this corner. He did some sanding, staining and refinishing. He did a great job. My brother and sister-in-law delivered it on Friday when I invited them out to supper. Being as I was buying supper, we went to Demetre's here in Stratford. I was hungry for liver. On the top shelf is a key holder that George and I had at the house and also in the RV. The picture was taken "BS" (before Sue).
On Saturday night a bunch of us from the apartment building went to the Legion for 4 pm. They have a meat draw, 50/50 and a basket of breakfast items. When I got there, Jim said that new people coming always win something. Boy he was so wrong. I came away empty handed. Another friend from the building drove and as we were leaving, I asked her if she wanted to go out for supper. Neither one of us wanted to cook for ourselves, so Montana's was the restaurant of choice.
Yesterday afternoon, I went to daughter #2's house. I packed up some stuff that they could use in the car. Hey, more stuff that I don't need, gone. They invited me out for supper. A great supper of Fettuccine Alfredo, shrimp, chicken and Caesar salad. What a wonderful time spent with the family. The hours just went by so fast and of course sharing great memories of George. The following is a picture she had to have, creating new memories without her father.
Tonight, so far, I am staying home for supper as I have left over liver.
Last night I had trouble getting to sleep, which is unusual for me. My brain just would not shut down. I kept thinking of various items to cook and repay the dinner invitations I have had since January. Now maybe I can figure out what to cook. When I do some inviting, they will be my first attempts. We will see how that goes, only time will tell.
So forward I go, where ever that leads me.
Have a great day.

ReplyDeleteHi Suzi - Congrats on selling the RV, I'm sure not an easy task that you can now put behind you. Best as you continue to move forward!
ReplyDeleteGood to hear from you Suzie. Glad the RV is history and you are free to move on. Stay safe.
ReplyDeleteI too prefer wood things. I'm sure it must have been with mixed feelings you said goodbye to the Motorhome. Sounds like you are adjusting well and feeling positive. George would be very proud of you. Keep up the good thoughts.
ReplyDeleteSo great to hear from you Sue, I think of you often and wonder how you are doing. Glad your are slowly finding your way. Much love.
ReplyDeleteI was so happy to see this update Suzie. I like your new pieces. I love would to makes things more cozy.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you sold the motor home and I guess it was a little sad. But like you said now you can do other things and not worry about missing a buyer. Nice that you are getting out and doing things with family and new friends. Take care
Thank you for the update, Suzie. Again, congratulations on the sale! We all know how hard but necessary that move was.
ReplyDeleteLove the 'new to you' furniture! I'm happy to read of your activity, getting out with family and the locals. :)
Take care!
What a nice update! Great to hear how you are doing. I think of you often.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear your latest news. Was wondering about you. Glad too that you are out and aboot. Nice pictures.
ReplyDeleteIt was good to hear from you as I do think about you. I hope you can now do some other things with the RV sold. Stay safe and well and keep in touch.
ReplyDeleteI was so glad to see an update from you, I often wonder how you are doing and if you had been able to sell your RV with the borders from our respective countries closed.
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear that you have made new friends and are socializing. Loved the picture of you and your grandchildren from daughter #2...my how they have grown especially the little girl.
While selling your RV could not have been easy at least you know that another family will hopefully enjoy it as much as George and you did.
I wish you the best and again thank you for your post. Please know that your cyber family loves and appreciates you and wishes you the best.
