Meeting Merikay

After our early and busy day yesterday, we were slow to get this day started. As we were finishing our mid-morning breakfast, a car pulled up. Out popped future fulltimer and fellow blogger Merikay. I knew she might be in the neighborhood today to attend an RV show here at the fairgrounds, so it was a very pleasant surprise to see her. It's always fun to meet someone new when you're still in your pajamas!

Over coffee we got to know this fun lady. Her dream to start exploring America's national parks and other scenic wonders is propelling her forward with energy and enthusiasm. Like all of us who go through the process of preparing for life on the road, the details of her great escape have yet to reveal themselves. But, she is eagerly stepping toward the dream. We were honored to be the first fulltiming bloggers she's met in real life. It was a treat to fill in the spaces between each other's words on the screen. Like other future fulltimers we've had the pleasure to meet, she came with several questions, which we were happy to answer. We look forward to following her preparations and meeting her again on the road one day.

With our pajama party behind us, Paul and I got into gear and went to work on a couple of big projects. I continued to work on my weekend rally project. It sounded so quick and easy when I hatched this idea! It's turned into a bit of a monster. Paul took on the task of washing the moose. Four hours later, our Winnie was sparkling clean. (Thanks, Paul!) I made significant progress on my monster project inside, but I still have work to do. (Ugh!)

We topped off the night with dinner out with our friends Cindy and Rick. It has been great to spend time with these good friends. The hour was late when we got home. So, if anyone is expecting to stop by tomorrow morning for a visit, you're perfectly welcome. Chances are you'll find me in my pajamas.
