Shampooing a bit of carpet and upholstery, getting things done and another fun day.

Where are we today ?
 clic a pic to enlarge it
    Another mild overnight and a decent sleep , up just after 4 am my usual time so that was alright. Got some computing and coffees then start boiling some chicken bones for a pot of soup. Then a nice walkabout looking for a sunrise , and I caught a bit of it. Finish boiling the soup bones added the vegggies and spices to let it simmer for a couple of hours, smelling this soup while I was cleaning.
a nice sunrise thought the trees
         Just after 8 am we started getting ready to steam the bit of carpet around the captains chairs and doge house(Engine cover). All nicely vacuumed with Rob's shop  vac, and got the steam cleaner going. I gave it to Rob and Pat a  couple of years ago when we removed the carpet and installed our vinyl plank flooring. They are camping here right now and brought it along for me to borrow. Got that carpet and upholstery all done, and a couple of small throw rugs as well outside to dry.
this steam cleaner does an awesome job
the dog house and carpets are now almost new again
dated upholstery  looks like new  after 20 years
our Mexico blanket from Mazatalan Mexico 2010
still looks good as well
           That done by 11 am time for some soup for lunch. Then a quick trip to Forest for a few groceries, Passed a large cement truck on the way laying on its side in the ditch. A couple of large tow trucks there to attempt to get it upright, I hope the driver was ok , The cab still looked intact.
Apparently the driver was trapped in side, but was freed and in hospital with non life threatening injuries. The new link is HERE 
loving our home-made chicken soup

2 huge wreckers here to upright him
            Back home I vacuumed the car with Robs nice shop vac. Returned these to him and now 2pm time to sit down and relax a bit. That has been a busy day but got things taken care of.
           At 3 Pm we headed up the hill for Happy hour at Joe's Place. With Rob, Pat, Gerry, Tucker, Ron and Loree, Paul and Judy and a neighbour there Dave (the kite guy). That wanted to check out the interior paint job that Joe did on his 5 th wheel. And it looks amazing! You can check it out if you care by clicking on my posting here from Sept 11th this year.
   We had so much fun and non stop laughing, share stories, heck my belly was hurting. But by 4:30  we were ready to head home, relax a bit and whip up a tasty supper.

       I had thrown my old hat by the recycle bin here, John (the maintenance guy) her found it came looking for me, thought it had blown away. He found us and I told him he could have it if he wanted to had to take his picture with me.

I still have to do some exercises for it to completely straighten but no more cramping and pain love it ! and now have full use of this hand and finger.
      I picked up a few pictures of Grand Daughter #3 on the ice with her new skates. She's is doing awesome for only 22 months. Just like her mother and 2 big brothers. Spending their lives at  arenas. I know we have spent countless hours in the last 30 years , plus I even spent even more time back in the 70s and 80s with my 2 older children as well.
she is loving her skates , when they took her off the
 ice she sure did not want out of her skates, LOL.
