Happy Holidays

Wishing all our readers a wonderful Christmas. May your home be filled with love, laughter and peace during the holiday and all year long.

Our anticipation is not so much for the arrival of Santa, but that we are very close to our departure day to head out of Canada. The travel trailer is packed, the tire pressure is checked and the wheel nuts are torqued, the water pressure system is winterized and we are ready to roll. The going away day is near and we feel a bit anxious and restless. Of course the weather is also of our concern for the days we are on the road and so far we have been very fortunate with a very mild winter here in our region.  If we can avoid driving in snow and salted highways, we will do so.  A month ago our Canadian Rona box store had a sale on for windshield washer fluid. We bought a carton of 4x1 gal containers for $5.00.  That is a lot of wiper solution, but in addition to using it for the truck’s windshield, we would use it to flush after a recycling effort on the potty. Just pour some winter windshield wiper fluid on it before stepping on the pedal while traveling in freezing temperatures. This is an old snowbird trick. The water pressure pump is off until we arrive at our RV campsite and we recommission the water system.  Maybe we are lucky with the weather this year, we sure hope so.

If I don’t post before year’s end, we wish everyone a Happy and Healthy New Year!
