Roger spent the day today putting away all the outside gear (gazebo, rugs, chairs, etc.) , dumping tanks, airing the tires, tightening lug nuts, and resetting the truck computer to towing mode.
I spent the day cleaning the inside, putting stuff in cupboards (candy dishes, silk flowers, etc.), and packing up the stuff we need to take with us to Sparks. One of the things the Navy taught me was how to be a good janitor, so I was, once again, in deep clean mode. It's amazing how much dirt, dust, pollen and dog hair one accumulates so quickly. I'm sure it doesn't help that most days we have the windows open with the vent fan sucking air in and that Maggie is in getting ready -for-summer shed mode.
Remember the new sofa and us measuring it to see if it would fit? Well, we decided we had better try and get the slider in today instead of waiting until tomorrow in case we needed to do something drastic. It's a bit of a tight fit, but.....
Part of the issue is that we had to decide what we can do without for the 8 weeks we will be home before we go back and pick up the RV. That, and just how much can the truck hold? There is limited space. Normally, this is not an issue - we just haul everything home and schlep it back into the house. So, lots getting left in the RV clothes-wise and dry goods - wise.
Maggs is taking it all in her calm demeanor. 
But the plants for sure are going. 
Obviously we have to empty the refrigerator and freezer tomorrow night before we put the RV in storage, so we have been eating some very weird meals this week. When Roger asked what was for dinner tonight I told him I had some egg substutue, milk, cheese and lots of condiments along with a prepackaged salad from Costco. He volunteered to go get a pizza - thank goodness. I have some potato salad and cheese and crackers along with our usual apple and chocolate for tomorrow's lunch, but who knows what we'll come up with for dinner - cereal? PB&J? We've always got protein/snack bars for when we get hungry on the road. We certainly won't starve.
So, off we go tomorrow, leaving the site as we found it and on to our next adventure - getting home.
