Homebound Preparations

Well, we leave Albuquerque in one week, and we work on getting ready.  Went home toTucson last week to drop off our van and bring the pick up.  Things were crazy there, and not sure how to fix,  We let a homeless lady that had aquired a small trailer to park it at our house while we are gone.  She was allowed to use the utilities also.  The understanding was that she would be gone by the time we got back.  It's not looking good.  What do we do, I don't want to be mean, but it is against our zoning.  Help!

New Product for Etsy Shop

I created a new item especially for Halloween for our Etsy shop.  It's one of those things that you feel it should sell like crazy and people think reallly cute.  Then you post the pictures and descriptions and it just sits there.  Most artistic creaters know what I mean.  Of course, it's a it's a bit early for Halloween sales.  I can only hope and make some more styles.  We sold so much more in craft shows last month,  we may do more of them when we get back home in a couple of weeks.

Bayfield Park Problems

This was our third year at this beautiful RV park, and really didn't enjoy it that much.  We had asked for some shade at our spot since we don't have an awning and we have two dogs.  No shade!  Right away we started having problems with getting enough power to run our air and it was hot.  Even Colorado can have very warm days.  The owner blamed us by saying we
must have something going bad in our RV.  It cooled off after a couple of days, so we tried to use little air conditioning.  We enjoyed our parties and kept an eye on our power usage with a volt meter.  When it got hot again, we put volt meter in their connection and pointed out to them how little power we were getting.  They moved us to another spot and our last week was much more pleasant.  But it came out that they were having power problems in that area of the park before we ever arrived.  If we come back next year, we will probably go to another park.
