Transitions
A lot has happened since our last post.
I've converted my pickup into a mini truck camper.
The addition of a cap and a wooden platform in the bed gives us the ability
to make quick side trips away from the Bus for a few days.
The platform installs or removes in 2 minutes
Under construction
Finished.
Storage underneath,
An air mattress on top, and we are ready to roll.

We also have a small tent that can go over the end of the truck for use
in inclement weather.
This was done in preparation of our departure in May for Alaska, and our desire
to travel some of the rough roads where I'd rather not, or its impossible, to take the motorhome.
Once we have had our fill of roughing it - it's back to the mothership for
Roughing it in Style.

The house sold
The house has been for sale for a couple of years.
We did not need to sell so we waited for the right buyer to come along...
And all of a sudden she did.
And needed us to move in 30 days...
Well we got our price so it was time to make hay.
We've done this many times before so we are somewhat of a well oiled moving machine,
and about 2 weeks after the contract was signed, we had already
done the following:
Sold the boat and Kates Car
Sold all the furniture with a few exceptions
Boxed up all our belonging.
Packed the Bus for 2 years of life on the road.
Having the proper tools helps make the job easier and speeds up the process.
The dogs - especially Gracie have been "tweaked" and are on high alert.
They know something is going on so they are staying closer nearby than usual.
If I need to find Gracie - I only need to look over my shoulder.
We are sitting on camp chairs and sleeping on an air mattress.
Queen sized at that... Tight with 2 people and two Real Estate hungry Doodles.
Having gotten way ahead of the curve we were able to enjoy
some time off visiting with friends.
Our first visitor in this house - our friend Matt, made the 14hr drive south to
spend one last time in the Beaufort, and completed the first and last visitor bookend.
Friends threw parties for Kate and I completing an action packed month.
Soon the movers came...
So its now Monday morning and we are ready to leave.
Our docs have already been signed and the proceed$ will be wired to us.
I just have one last appointment at 1pm and then we will be wheels up.
To all of our friends and neighbors - Kate and I both have to express our gratitude
and appreciation for the outpouring of love and friendship you all have shown to us,
as well as the many years of stress free living that we have enjoyed here.
You all have enriched our lives!
We now have some BIG plans and adventures ahead of us.
Alaska this Spring/Fall
The Queen Mary 2 to Europe with the Doodles next spring
And a lot more sandwiched in between.
Free of the worries of a house thousands of miles away...
The sky is the limit!
Stay tuned.

Just as the movers utilized every nook and cranny in their truck,
I utilized this "nook" of time to finish giving the doodles
a comb out and hair cut in preparation for baths.

They might not be pretty but they sure smell purdy!
