Trailer life....but not on the road again....

We love it!!!
We moved into our trailer at Thousand Trails on October 1, 2010. Annette and Elizabeth helped us move in and set up the cupboards...what a lot of stuff disappeared into them. It is amazing the things we saved from our motor coach days. The air conditioner worked perfectly!!! but the next day it conked out and we had to come home.

The next weekend on Friday, it was cool and the remodeling began!!! Thank you Fred and Bob for the great job you did in tearing out the bedroom wall. It opened up the whole trailer.

the wall that was to be removed

Bob and Fred at work

the left side closet removed and nightstand rebuilt

Fred working on the right hand closet

There it is almost transformed...they made table tops out of leftover wood
They also brought our outdoor shed and set it up.


need to take a good interior picture all finished

The next day Robert, Michael and Martin brought us dinner from the girls
and Dan, Daniel and Matthew came down





a good game of cribbage
Robertt, Michael and Martin leveled the staircase and nailed it back
together.....did a good job....easier to get in and out. thanks.
Michael removed some old wood over the wheels that
were ugly (formerly used for wheel covers.)

please note new shed to left end of trailer...Bob & Fred fixed it

John relaxing after long ride from Los Gatos

on Sunday John rode his bike and Mary drove down
We had gone to mass so left the trailer open
and left welcoming signs....


Mom with chips...


Annette do you reeognize the tablecloth???


it was hot in the trailer....no air conditioning
....over 88 degrees in the trailer at one time or another during the day
John and Mary left around 4:30 and Dan and boys stayed til 7 .m.
Robbie was supposed to come and spend the night but since the
air conditioner wasn't working we cancelled his visit and came home!!!!
Hopefully the airconditioner will arrive soon...probably just
then the weather will turn cold!!!!

In case any of you that we don't talk to read this and you are wondering why we just don't go down to the cabin...well this is closer...we can go all by ourselves......it is fun...and we kind of love living in a trailer....feels like we are really on vacation.
