It's a skillful affair I devoted final calendar week to Todd's Pawtrait because I instantly uncovering myself living days amongst likewise much to do...and none of it involves sewing. I haven't fifty-fifty had whatever fourth dimension for embroidery, as well as that almost never happens.
Yesterday was the 24-hour interval we'd laid upward aside to unload the quondam RV as well as deed everything into the novel RV. It was, essentially, similar moving a pocket-size household. Mike was doing repairs to the RV, which solely he tin do, as well as that left me doing all the moving on my own. H5N1 few times I asked for his assistance to achieve things on high shelves, but mainly, I did it myself. It was the hottest 24-hour interval thus far this year, as well as nosotros were both worn out yesteryear day's end. Here, Sadie demonstrates how tired nosotros both were:
Not that she lifted a unmarried paw to help. Interestingly, both kitties larn inwards as well as out of the RV's amongst no hesitation. Smitty fifty-fifty napped inwards the quondam RV yesterday piece nosotros were there. They oft larn into the RV's if the doors are left open, but they to a greater extent than oft than non wing out the door if nosotros enter. Smitty seemed completely nonplussed almost us existence in that location piece he napped. It's every bit if he's figured out that when we're non hooked upward to the truck as well as thus we're non moving.
Since I knew it was going to survive a busy day, I started early on making some Small Batch Spiced Blueberry Jam.
This was thus quick as well as simple, as well as it smells heavenly. It's spiced amongst cinnamon, cloves, as well as nutmeg. My yield was simply 3 half-pints, as well as I had the whole affair done inwards less than an hour, including processing time. I dearest that almost blueberries. No pits. No seeds. No muss. No fuss. I withal receive got blueberries to brand huckleberry chutney, but that volition in all likelihood receive got to await until Thursday...or maybe Tuesday...but don't count on it. I recollect I powerfulness fifty-fifty receive got plenty left over afterward the chutney to bake a huckleberry pie for two. We'll see.
So afterward that, nosotros got to function moving, as well as it was a hot as well as heavy day. Lifting heavy things upward as well as downwards the RV steps was difficult on my knee, but Mike helped out amongst that part. Each RV is configured differently amongst differently shaped cupboards for storing things. Each i also has its short-comings. I've been thinking almost how to accommodate things e'er since Mike arrived dwelling solid amongst the novel one, as well as I'm happy to tell things are plumbing equipment nicely as well as inwards convenient places. I'm absolutely loving the flooring to ceiling pantry, which holds all sorts of things.
There is plenty of room approximately the sink as well as stove for skillets, pans, as well as pocket-size appliances. The cupboards on the far side of the sink as well as to the correct of the pantry are perfect for dishes as well as glasses.
The 4 drawers below are a squeamish cast as well as plenty roomy to gibe silverware as well as all sorts of stuff. I withal receive got i cabinet of materials to empty inwards the quondam RV, but I recollect everything is going to gibe perfectly. As I'm putting things away, I proceed reminding myself that over time, things volition seek their ain level. Also, we'll demand to practise some measurements for some drawer dividers. We receive got some from the quondam RV that are working, but we'll demand some others earlier it's cook to larn downwards the road...unless y'all don't hear everything tipping over as well as falling out of the cupboards when y'all opened upward them. I do.
The shortest of shortcomings inwards the novel RV is the cast of the cabinets inwards the bathroom.
We most sweated out placement of items inwards here. For i thing, in that location is almost no wall space, as well as thus nosotros ended upward mounting towel bars on the door. It was the solely place. There was also no house for a privy newspaper holder, as well as thus that ended upward on the within of i of the doors below the sink. Most troubling are those skinny as well as deep cabinets to the left of the sink. We ended upward putting narrow bins inwards in that location that volition usage similar drawers, as well as that worked out pretty well. Everything fits, as well as it's non likewise much problem gaining access to what y'all want. The saving grace inwards hither is the medicine cabinet, which is quite large, as well as amongst tall shelves for tall items.
In all the walking dorsum as well as forth yesterday, I paused for a 2nd when I noticed the contrast of the orangish 24-hour interval lilies amongst the majestic of the lavender. It was pretty plenty to motivate me to larn the photographic idiot box camera as well as accept a picture.
In illustration you're wondering, the sign says, "Garden of Weeden."
So there's simply a picayune flake left to do, as well as I desire to larn an early on commencement this morn to effort to larn it finished up. I receive got an 24-hour interval of the month inwards downtown Portland at 1:00. Even on a skillful 24-hour interval of traffic it's an threescore minutes to larn downtown as well as to larn parked, thus I demand to move out approximately noon. And that agency it's fourth dimension to larn moving.
