yayBingo last night. So I was up to late and then up to early this morning. But I did scrounge up $1.00 worth of change and played a game ..... and won $45.00. The bingo gods smiled on me. And I stopped. Was so grateful to have that $45.00 I about cried. lol I'm tired. I'd like to go back to bed. And just would like to say one more time for the record books ..... old lady bingo players can be BITCHES! 
The thermostat for the trailer arrived yesterday and Dave installed it immediately. And as of this morning the refrigerator works! YAY! So it looks like MAYBE JUST MAYBE we will be able to get out of here sometime this weekend. I'm actually feeling the anxiousness in the body so I know its going to happen soon. I can't wait.
So today will be spent getting some stuff together and setting it aside so that as soon as Dave says "load her up" ...... I'll be loading her up ......
The dogs have been really funny as the trailer has started to look more like a trailer again. Maybe they can sense our anxiousness. Joe especially ..... once the trailer door opens for Dave to be working he is in it. And won't come out. I think he is making sure we don't leave him behind. They know the trailer means river ..... and that means: lizard hunts, swimming, stick chasing, sleeping in the warm sun on the beach, chasing squirrels ...... and fish ..... and water skippers ..... oh my ..... so much to do for a dog. They love their time down there.
We have managed to get rid of the majority of the earwigs from the garden. We now have five very happy healthy artichokes growing like crazy. The strawberries are sweet and juicy and in abundance. The raspberries are turning a beautiful red and will soon be devoured ..... we have so many this year ..... its crazy. The first zucchini will more than likely be picked today and eaten with dinner. The tomatoes are small but in a couple weeks ..... oh, yum ..... can't wait. My peppers are coming on like gangbusters and Dave picked the first one this morning. We also have a water snake living .... well, everywhere. He was in the fishpond the other day enjoying a tadpole or two ..... then this morning he was enjoying his cool summer morning in the strawberries. He keeps startling me ...... I have no fear of water snakes ..... but when you don't know they are there ...... SHIT!
Mom is now hooked up to Lifeline and Dave and I can leave without too much worry or guilt. I was gone when they came yesterday but Dave made sure mom understood how to use and when to use. The biggest problem we are having now is just getting her to understand she wears this thing 24/7. Even in the shower. Its a button that she wears around her neck. Last night she was worried it didn't go with her shirt. "Mom, we are not making a fashion statement here." She just grunted in disgust. ***sigh***
Posting another slideshow of the trailer and other stuff ..... just wish we had taken one of the double sink and stove / oven ...... it's really nice ...... didn't realize till I started to put this together we neglected the front inside of the trailer ..... oh well.
I hope everyone's Tuesday is a good one. Peace y'all ......
