Saturday morning, we decided we would have an rv open “house” on Sunday. We had been *thinking* about the open house for a month and leave it to me to invite people 24 hours beforehand. The truth is I wasn’t procrastinating. I was just being thorough. Everything needed to be “just so”. Which explains (or muddles) why we were still up at 12:00 am hanging cabinet doors and sweeping piles of screws into the drawers. Those finishing touches. Nothing says we are ready to go like clean countertops even if the closet is filled with paint cans instead of clothes.
The party was at noon and at 11:30 am we found ourselves an hour behind schedule still trying to hitch up the trailer. You see, we waited until right before the party to test out the hitch and as it turned out our truck “hitch height” is different than the previous owner’s truck making it impossible to “just hook up and go”. Somehow Brent figured it out (he always does) and we pulled up to our little get together.
There are a lot of things we are going to miss about Ventura this year…the beaches, the mountains, the fabulous weather, two Trader Joes…but none of that compares to the way we are going to miss the people. So many wonderful people. I’m thankful that a handful of these wonderful people were able to make it out on such a ridiculously late notice and I hope they know just how much it made our day.
Love and Laughter,
Jenn
