One month to go!

This morning we took another load of donations to town.  Seriously, I thought we'd have gotten to the end of things to donate by now.  But we had kitchen things to drop off at the Shelter, our old bathroom sink and vanity to take to the Habitat ReStore, and other miscellaneous things to give to St Vinnie's.  Brad thinks we still have another pickup load of things to take in to donate, but I'm not so sure!

We dropped off the truck at the dealer's to get an oil change and service to make sure it's ready for its first big trip, and spent the waiting time wandering down the Thunder Bay River and reading all the information signs about the history of the ships that have been down the river, in Thunder Bay, and sailing Lake Huron and the other Great Lakes, and how many of them are now settled at the bottom of Thunder Bay due to fires or shipwrecks.  Very interesting, and good exercise!

This afternoon I took some time to clean out our car to get it ready to sell.  I don't know if we're quite ready to be a one-car family, but we don't want to leave that for the last minute, either!  I also spray-painted a knob we picked up at the ReStore to replace a wobbly one on the sliding door in the RV that separates the kitchen/living room from the bathroom/bedroom.  It feels good to be just doing minor fix-ups now, instead of the major ones we were doing earlier.
