Moving on...

We moved on Tuesday from the delivery site at Lazy Days to their Rally Park. We needed to attach to a sewer line to try out the new washer/dryer for the first time. The Splendide is a washer dryer combination unit. Learning to use it is a bit different from the units we'd used before. To start with it is small..it will only wash about 11 pounds and dries even less. This amounts to 1 pair of pants, 3 shirts and a few socks. Then you have to stop the unit in the middle between wash and dry to shake everything out to help prevent wrinkles. And then, you still may have wrinkles if you let it dry completely. We'd been warned about this...and it is correct. We've already re-wet and re-dryed several of Gary's shirts to remove the wrinkles. No ironing please. All this fun for $1000.oo ...and to avoid laundromats. Especially since Gary thought he should be "packing heat" at the last laundromat he visited. I still think it'll be worth it once we learn all the tricks. Only 1 tablespoon of detergent and fabric softener. I've never used a tablespoon to measure this before. That takes a bit of getting used too. I don't want to "over-foam" and end up with suds on the floor(carpet). Not my idea of fun. Just more of the adventure...
Yesterday we moved again to Thousand Trails Preserve outside Orlando. As part of LazyDay's benefits we have a membership for 3 months without further cost. This is a large (over 800 sites) off route 27N. It is pretty nice. Sites in the open and in the "woods"...
No swimming in the lakes though...alligators seem to be in all bodies of water down here. There is a very nice pool with hot tub that we are going to try out later today.
Gary went to Orlando today to get a part for our sewer connection. Carriage uses connections unlike any we've found before. So we needed a part in order to connect with our old pipes. Their hose is 25' long and this length won't always work out. We need to be able to connect to a shorter pipe too. So..Mr Fix-it to the rescue. I've been working and enjoying Christmas music while he was gone.
Hope everyone is doing well. Please send us a note and let us know how things are going. Love to all. Deb
