Who are we?

I'm Carol, a curious retiree who has always wanted to see the United States, especially the national and state parks. My marmalade cat Livy, who only gets called Olivia Louise when she is in big trouble, likes the camping but isn't so sure about the driving. We are traveling in my motorhome Myrtle--she carries our home wherever we go. She is new and we are just getting comfortable with each other.

April 5, '14

Its Saturday, and I've come home for a couple of days.  I am hoping that I will be able to have Myrtle's awning replaced on Monday.  Why, you ask?  Here is the sad story.

Myrtle is my one and only vehicle so I drive her everywhere.  I was driving home from a haircut in Monroe, carefully pulling into our driveway and watching that my rear wheels were far enough from the ditch on the driver's side.  I totally forgot to watch the massive maple tree on the passenger side and side-swiped the tree with the awning.  I had only had Myrtle six days!  The next morning I took her into Open Road RV in Monroe.  They carefully removed the badly damaged awning so that Myrtle was drivable while I waited for the parts they ordered to arrive.

I checked today as I came through Monroe--some parts are in (from Dometic, the awning maker) and some are not (from Forest River, Myrtle's manufacturer).  So I will find out Monday whether the awning can be temporarily put in place.  I am trying to leave Washington to head south--through Oregon and California and into Arizona and New Mexico.  The trip is waiting for the awning!
