Mark had an appointment at the VA in Green Bay today, so we took advantage of the opportunity to run some errands and do some shopping down there. Continue reading

Job interview and etc.
I showed the pictures of Mark blow-torching the cellar doors yesterday so that he could get in and turn on the water. I failed to mention that when he tried to turn on the water pump, there was a crack and water sprayed everywhere, so we don’t have water to the house yet. This also means we don’t have heat in the house because our registers run water through to heat the house. Mark called a plumber this morning and they said they’d try to make it to our house by this afternoon, but it didn’t happen. Hopefully, they can come and fix the leak tomorrow morning.

…Get set…Go!
Mark’s last day at work was last Saturday and mine was today. Mark has been doing things to the RV to prepare for our trip to the frozen north. He resealed the roof, patched leaks, caulked, put our new (to us) topper over the bedroom slide out, and began packing things back into the basement of the RV. Continue reading
A little excitement at work
I don’t normally write on the days I work because, really, how exciting can it be in a tax office? Not exactly something to write home about. Today was the exception. Continue reading

Training
I packed a lunch and went to the H&R Block office this morning at 9:00, bound and determined I was going to finish the online training I still needed to do. It took me almost all day, but I am now trained! Continue reading
A day of rest
This morning, Mark wanted to stay home and work on his motorcycle. I went to the “church” that meets here in the park. Continue reading
From Tucson, AZ
We’re here! Thank you to those of you who were praying for safety for our trip. I had a training to get to at 1:00 today, so we felt a little rushed. We left Phoenix at 8:50 am. The temperature was 49°. Remember me saying I didn’t think I was going to need a sweater until I got back to Wisconsin? I’m re-thinking that! The temperature got up into the 70’s this afternoon, but when I came out of my training it was cooler and more comfortable. Nights in the desert are colder, so I’m not putting my sweaters away yet. Continue reading
Good news!
My sister finally got out of the hospital last Saturday and is well enough to drive again. Mark and I have been job hunting this week. Mark was hired today for a job that is a perfect match for him… Continue reading
