We have a washing machine! No more laundramats.

We are parked in the camping world in Portland.  We are the proud owners of a new Splendide Washer/Dryer Combo. It fitted through the door and in the closet no problem.




Their installation of the vent kit however, leaves a little to be desired - hence we are still sitting here and will be until Monday when we get it taken back in for them to fix up the ugly big hole and other stuff they screwed up.

Le is running on adrenalin from having to fight with another set of incompetent RV repairers. In this case they are doing the right thing, and gave us a discount on installation, and added the two year extended warranty for free.

It looks like the sun is going to poke its head out today so we should run and find  a playground or something for the kids to do outside. It is about 12 degrees here which is positively hot!

Madi has been doing lessons, practicing her writing mainly. And Denny has been drawing with markers so he was excited. he normally only gets the crayons.  Denny of course tired first and then (complete with special soccer slippers) was kicking the trillion balls we have up and done the camper.

Thats our exciting life today. I am off to buy a new video camera to replace the one we lost.  At least the size of the harddrive has doubled since we bought the last one and it is the same price.  I still went to sleep last night racking my brain where the other one could be before forking out another $400 for a new one. At least we have the battery, case, tripod and cards etc from the last one so that will save $150 in accessories!

Le is replacing all the blown globes, fuses etc. She is on a bit of a fix it mission. We have decided we might just have to fix stuff ourselves. Safer than going to repairers.
