nothing new

Not a whole lot going on lately. Went to the casino, just about broke even. Did some repair work for a friend of my cousins. Went to a few estate sales. Did get a good deal on some snack trays, Burled wood like tops, new they sell for over 300** got them for ten bucks. ( I investigated the pricing online) Overall very uneventful week. At least the weather has been good.
Think I'll re-post some pics from our trip starting from day one through day 125. Any thoughts?

Finally the last 375 miles of pictures

From Spokane to Bellingham. The Colombia River crossing Colombia River gorge and the wild horse monument. The Cascades mountains and the giant cedar stump near Bellingham.

Our new accommodations.

Maybe......

I'll post some pics of the new digs.......that ought to keep me busy for about two minutes.

Hmmmmmm

Thought I was getting rested up but apparently that's not happening. More tired than ever, must be this retirement thing.
I believe I just need to find more to do. You know "give and you shall receive".  So I need some energy, guess I'll have to give some.
Anyone know of anyone who needs some "handyman" work done leave a comment here. BTW it has to be local. More later..........
                                           Sleepless north of Seattle :)

In and getting settled.....

Actually finally getting rested up. Fourteen weeks of travel and two weeks looking for an apartment. One week of moving. I'm still exhausted but it's good to be in a place of our own and have the conveniences we missed while on the road.
House is almost settled, except for the fish tanks. Next a thorough cleaning and some good meals.
Hope to be back volunteering soon.

It helps to....

It helps to know people. Called someone I know, fortunately they had an apartment available.
Second day of moving items from storage to the apartment and should be able to finish up moving things tomorrow. Then the real work will be putting everything away and organizing it all.
Thankful we have a place but will be glad when it's all done so we can relax and recuperate before we start volunteer work again.
A huge THANK YOU to my cousin who let us stay there for a week while we searched.

How hard can it be?

If you don't count Sunday then I guess its' been three days.
We have called at least 50 apartment complexes, have been able to look at two apartments.
I guess in the long run we should have kept our apartment to begin with. I just couldn't see paying for something that wasn't going to be used for thirteen weeks. Hind sight is always 20/20.
Well the problem being this, if  you don't have a dog that is the size of a rat and barks at everything (in other words, if you have a larger dog that is behaved and quite) then they don't want you to rent from them.
All in all I guess I'd say I'm a bit frustrated. Don't get me wrong there are apartments available that take larger dogs, I just can't afford them. And who can afford a one-thousand dollar deposit for a dog?
Don't worry It'll be fine, something will turn up, it always does :)

BTW.........THANKS FOR LETTING ME VENT!
