We closed on our house Friday morning and right after, our friends and former house owners, Brad and Connie, left for Cody, WY to supervise construction of their new house. We wish them the best of luck and hope to get out for a visit in the next year or two.
On the afternoon of the 16th we drove to Wausau, WI to have the last of the warranty work done on the motorhome. I’m so glad we bought at King’s Campers as they and their techs are so good to work with. After we got checked in and parked for the night we went out to supper at an interesting restaurant.
If you double click on the picture you can see an old Hudson in the top window.
We got in for our 1:00 PM appointment to have the required annual service on the refrigerator and Aqua Hot system. They also took care of a couple of warranty items. By 4:00 PM we were on our way back home. It is a ways over and back, 400 miles round trip, but it's worth the time to get capable and honest work done.
On the third weekend of June there is an event held at the State Fairgrounds called Back to the 50's. This is a car show that started in 1973 for 1964 and older cars and now gets over 11,000 entrants for the 3 days. We were not able to go on Friday and when we got there by 8:15 AM on Saturday there were no more parking spots on the streets so we had to park in one of the overflow parking lots. As it turned out there were 4 Chevelles parked together. The day was just perfect for the event with clear skies and a high of 85 degrees.
Our Chevelle is the second from the right.
The first thing we had to do when we got there was to have breakfast. Nutritious, right!! That’s Sandy in the hat getting her fresh hot cinnamon roll. Mmmmmmm.
Here are a few pictures of cars at the show.
1958 Chrysler product of some sort.
1964 Comet.
A nice ‘57 Pontiac.
On Sunday the 21st, we went to the wedding of my cousin, John, and his wife Alissa. It was a beautiful outdoor wedding even though it started to sprinkle at the end of the ceremony. Congratulations John and Alissa and we wish you a lifetime of happiness.
We have been busy picking out tile for the bathrooms, carpet for the downstairs, cabinets and countertops for the kitchen and paint colors. We decided to extend the wood floors that were in the entry, kitchen and dinette to thru out the main floor. After we pulled the carpet they pulled a couple pieces of wood to check the manufacturer and we found out that they have gone out of business. So rather then take a chance on getting a mis-match we had them pull all the wood and started over with #2 maple. It turns out the entire new wood floor will be nicer than keeping the the same original floor. As of today, about 2/3's of the wood floor has been installed.
Our friends, Ron and Jane from Arizona will be here tomorrow, July 2nd, with their granddaughter Ally . They will be here for a couple of weeks so I will probably wait to post again until after they leave.
Until next time,
Dave and Sandy.
