Peppy's Dream Moving Adventure Blog

Well, we had a good night’s sleep and a wonderful breakfast prepared by my Mom and Dad.  Then, Eric went outside to put the replacement door on the hot water heater outside the RV.  Of course they sent the wrong door!  What a disappointment.  Now, not only do we have to ship it back, but also Eric had to finagle a new “temporary” cover on the door.  Instead of cardboard, my Dad gave him a piece of plastic and he used packing tape to hold it on.  It will have to work until we get to San Diego, because now Eric doesn’t trust them to ship the correct door and it’s not something you can just walk into a store and find.

The four of us each took turns taking a picture of the other three, so we have four pictures with every combination!

We are going to just relax today, and hang around the house, because we have an 8:00am appointment to get the RV repaired in Pompano Beach.  We will drive there and then find out how long they plan to keep the RV (if they know – it depends on the availability of parts, if needed).  We will rent a car from there (Enterprise – they’ll pick you up!).  We are hoping for another PT Cruiser, but we’ll take whatever we can get!

It’s so pleasant here at my folks’.  They are so happy to have us here, and they are always waiting on us (even though we try to do things ourselves) and just want us to relax and enjoy.  I took a nap this afternoon with my Mom, while Eric went out to do laundry (I think he just needed to get out of the house for a while – he’s not very good at relaxing) and my Dad watched TV.  My mom always calls me her “cloney”, because I am like her clone.  We are alike in so many ways.  We both love to take a nap, and we found out today that we both like to go to sleep on our left sides.  Isn’t that cute?  Anyway, we always find out more and more ways that we are alike.

We went to dinner at a Chinese Restaurant called KINGSBURG.  It was really good and we had a lot of laughs, as always.  One thing about my parents, they’re really funny (I guess that’s where I get it from, if I do say so myself) and they love to laugh.

After dinner we came home and my parents read my blog on my computer, because they don’t own a computer.  They just don’t feel the need!  While they were reading, Eric and I watched Britney Spears open the MTV awards.  I know a lot of people were curious about how she would look and how well she would perform.  Well, she looked okay (especially since she’s had 2 kids in the last 3 years), but her performance was not only completely lip-synced, but also very lackluster.  One thing that girl could do was dance, but she hardly danced at all.  I was very disappointed, because even though she’s not a great singer, I always thought she was a great performer.  Not tonight!

We’re going to head out early tomorrow for Pompano Beach to the RV Repair shop.  The saga continues!
