Another big moving day...


Almost a block from the other site we were in.  It was easy to move our "caravan" a piece or two at a time, since we could easily walk back and forth.  We have 21 days (the maximum) in this site.  We have been in this site in the past (twice last summer)... we are told that all the sites are the same size, but the concrete pad in this site is a bit wider... enough so that our sun screen will need some extensions on the bungees to hook it up (in the grass on the edge of the paved site).

We have a huge front yard in this site...


... since it is a corner lot.  The downside of getting all that space: the direction it faces puts sun on our all day, so we can really use that sunscreen.  Right now, it is a bit too breezy to put the awning out.

Rufus really liked the site we were in: with a big coach on our patio side, it was more private, and he had immediate access to the dog walking area (that is the size of a couple football fields).  In fact, the normally sweet boy got a bit pissy while we were preparing to move.  Rufus?  Pissy?  Yes, to the point where he swatted at us as we walked by.  With a certain urgency in his meow.  Now, it may have been because he didn't get to go out for a walk this morning... or it may have been because he could see that we were scurrying around, and that means a move.

When you scold a cat, they generally don't show shame and remorse the way a dog does.  When Rufus took a swing at me (no contact) I said sternly, "What did you do?  You do NOT hit the Daddy!"

He said, "I'm sorry!  I'm sorry!  I'm sorry!"  Yes, really.

When he and I made the 30 second drive from the previous site to this one, he looked out and said, "Oh, this site has grass, too.  OK, I guess this is good, too."  (All the sites here have a nice grassy area between the paved sites.)

So, as much work to hook up utilities and get set up inside the coach again as at the end of a long driving day.  But, after that 30 second drive, we are once again settling in.

Later this afternoon: the sunscreen in place...
