Jan and Bill Save Us From Boredom

Apache Junction, AZ  High 93  Low 65

The boat is still in the hospital. Oh woe is Jim. Haven’t heard anything from the doctor yet on his leg tests so no news there. And here we sit.

BUT – Jan and Bill pulled into our park on Thursday and saved the day.

They bought a new Montana Mountaineer Fifth Wheel and it is gorgeous. They have a four door fridge – I am so jealous.

Just look at that fridge:

Had them over for dinner Thursday night. Fixed some pork chops with fried apples and stuffing and peach cobbler for dessert. Turned out pretty good if I do say so myself.

Bill wanted a macerator. He had one on their old fifth wheel and he missed it. So they ordered one and had it shipped to us. Guess what Jim has been installing for the last two days.

Last night Jan and Bill took us out to dinner to say thanks. Not sure what they’re thanking me for. I certainly haven’t done anything but I’m sure glad they included me in the party. We went to the #1 Eastern Super Chinese Buffet – one of our favorite restaurants in this area. First time we’ve been there this season and it was just as fabulous as it’s always been.

Jan had a couple of other small jobs that needed Jim’s tools. Needed to drill a couple of holes to run the cord.

One of the screws on the table wasn’t screwed into the floor and the table kept trying to tip over.

But all is done. Now I just need to convince Jan and Bill they need to stay a couple of more days for fun.

  1. Keep your appetite wanting more from the Eastern. We loved it!! I still don't understand why anyone would want a macerator. It's only when the "stuff" is leaving the rig that it chops. Right? I just don't get it.

  6. I love how RVers help one another. One of the reasons I am confident about this solo snowbird bit is I know I can go to Rainbow's End and get any help I need to help me get started on this next adventure. The I may come camp next to your guys so you can feed me and Jim can fix things. :)
