At 0Dark:30 our doorbell rang and we could not imagine who was out there at that hour of the day, since the paper had already come. Ray opened the door and there on the porch were carolers warbling away! Christmas carols early in the morning surely surprised us and gave us a great start to our day. Thanks to Geneva, Brion, Judy and Bob for some rousing renditions and for making me laugh that early, which is something I rarely do that time of day.
Today was mostly uneventful, we passed few people but got passed by lots of people. Ray got better at staying in the lane, except for one time when he drifted a bit much to the right and frightened a little sedan who had thought to pass us.
We had alot of heavy fog most of the day and it was chilly. Right before dark we go out from under it or above it and we saw one star brightly shining in the sky right ahead of us. It was beautiful! We think this RV park is also beautiful, but it's too dark to tell. We're off the highway quite a bit so it's quiet. Right across from the showers, so it will be a short but freezing dash over in the morning.
At a rest area just before Vancouver, we microwaved leftovers for lunch. MMM-mmm, good! It's such a treat to have a microwave in the motorhome as our last one had none. Norman always enjoys getting out for a stroll at the rest areas, he finds such fascinating smells. I was cold and wished he'd hurry up! Poor dog. The water dish we brought for the motorhome (the Watering Hole) works well. Norman has water all the time and the water does'nt slosh out of the dish.
After we got to Seven Feathers and slid out, hooked up and plugged in we decided on chili for supper. I'm glad I cooked the hamburger and froze it earlier in the week. It made dinner quicker. We are out of practice and this mh has more stuff to hook up, plug in, etc. It seemed to take a long time to be ready to cook, and past the time we were ready to eat!
We have discovered that none of the electrical plugs on the big slide out work! Grr on that! So much for crock-pot anything. Phooey. Ray is not sure the electrical heater in the back of the rig actually heats. I think the electrical heaters are too noisy. We found out we have mirror heaters. Not all discoveries are bad ones.
Tomorrow it will be beautiful mountain scenery for most of the day and then a bit in the flats to Corning, CA. Wish Ray luck in those mountains!

Hurray! Ray and sue! You have started a wonderful phase in your lives. Congratulations. Plugs don't work! Heaters don't work! You'd think this was a shakedown run. Oh, it is. :-)
Heaters, it turned out work fine. The heat pumps can't heat below 45 degrees. So we used the propane furnace. Yes, a shakedown cruise.
