Terrific Tuesday

And, what made today so great?

We sold a car!

Yee-HAW!

Our bug just left in the happy hands of a couple from our Winnie group. We just happened to mention at breakfast Sunday that it was for sale. That planted a seed. They thought about it on the way home and decided they needed to come and take a look. And, this evening they decided they needed to take it home. We're delighted that our vintage beauty has found a new home with friends. We wish them all many happy and carefree miles. 

Suddenly, we're feeling a lot lighter! 

The rest of the day we maintained our manic pace of packing and last minute purging. We're down to the wire here, so we are being ruthless in our purging. We are surprised that we still have stuff to get rid of.  (A word here to future fulltimers: When you're days away from hitting the road, chances are you'll be surprised, too.) Right now, though, it feels like we have it pretty well handled. 

The FedEx man delivered our new bike rack today, and Boris went right to work on the "some assembly" that was required. Within minutes, he had the new rack in one piece, and it looks like it will work great. The cover should be here tomorrow. It'll be great to get it all loaded on to the moose.

As the reality hit that we will be on the road in a week, I took a few minutes to plot out a route for our Oregon travels and make a campground reservation. As much as I would have loved to spend the rest of the afternoon planning, I could hear these boxes calling my name. 

They'll be plenty of time to work on planning our journey...soon.

And, that, dear readers, is all pretty terrific!
