Greetings everyone! I hope you are having a groovy day. Momma Sharon's whirlwind life continues believe it or not and I have a Short Story today about how the stars are continuing to align!
Our SC State Park trip last week was oh so fun, but I knew the respite for my Camper Mom was short-lived. This week and next have been and will continue to be HECTIC (notice I put that in all caps)!
Just when you thought all those stars were aligned and you knew the whole Story, there's another Chapter! This one involves the old girl, The Coffee Cup. Mollie (Murphy's Ollie) won't be ready to roll out of the factory in Tennessee until mid-July, but our seasonal campsite at Raccoon Holler is ready and waiting on us right now. The Cup has had leaks (Uncle Rob fixed those), she needed brake work (Jimmy took care of that at Newsome Tire), but she desperately needed new tires and a battery. Plus sitting in the Javaport for months, she had accumulated quite a bit of dirt.
On Tuesday, Mom pulled out the hose, ladder, bucket, soap, and wash cloth and gave that old girl half a bath. Yes, you read that right . . . half a bath. This morning, she got out the dolly and rolled the little Scotty out into the driveway to give her the other half. Then it was time to hitch her up to Splish for a date with Jimmy to get new tires and a new battery.
It was a little scary seeing her perched up in the air so high! She couldn't have been in better hands though. Mom reluctantly left her there until it was time to hitch a ride back over and pick her up. By 3:00, new higher-rated trailer tires were on and a new battery was installed. Then it was time for Splish to get some TLC . . . inspection, oil change, and tire rotation.
Everyone is back home now and tomorrow, packing will begin for the trip to Raccoon Holler on Saturday. It will be Uncle Rob to the rescue once again. He will be towing The Cup up the mountain for us because Splish doesn't have a brake controller. He and Momma Sharon will get her all set up in site #86 and I predict it's going to be a glorious two and a half months in The Holler for everyone.
Tomorrow will be a fun day going through all the Cup's stuff and picking just the right items for her vacation in the mountains. I think Mom has kinda forgotten where everything is . . . LOL.
Did you know that The Coffee Cup has a blog too? Yeppers, but it's been a very long time since anything new was added there. On Saturday night, I guarantee there will be a new post and you can check it out HERE!
Until it's time for the last Chapter of How The Stars Aligned, always remember . . .

Glad to see the Coffee Cup out and about.
