This morning at 9 am we parked the motor home and Nina’s Avalon at the Gateway West indoor storage lot. One of the buildings in the old naval gun plant in Pocatello is used for indoor storage at very reasonable rates. It’s not heated or cooled, but is inside and out of the weather. So, it was up at 6 am, finish packing everything up, and be at the facility by 9 am. We succeeded.

So, now with the motor home in storage, we’re now completely at other people’s pleasure/mercy! We drove over to Soda Springs for a last visit with mother, then on to North Salt Lake where we’ll be for the next few days. Last Sunday when the grandkids came up for our farewell, they brought Michael’s car to leave with us. Michael is chilling over in India for a few weeks, so didn’t need his car. We stuffed it (literally!) to the gills and drove down. Now we’ll re-pack the suitcases and hopefully get downsized to the requisite two suitcases and carry-on bag.

For the next few days, we’re just going to relax and enjoy visiting with the grandkids and making the last minute preparations. Life is great!
