We really are finishing up!

 At my age, I think a lot about finishing well. When I say that I'm talking about life, but it also applies to projects.

The following are all finishing up tasks on the Frolic project.

I built and installed the bathroom and closet doors.









The closet door is a mirror door. I used a mirror that was mounted solid in the same location as the door. In the picture above, the mirror door is open at 90 degrees. That allows one to use the kitchen sink and the mirror for grooming.

Kathy is covering the bed/seat cushions.



As you would expect, they look nice.

I've got the floor almost ready for tile.


Stay tuned.

We camped in Frolic for the first time. It's officially done.

 I finally got Frolic on the road, so that means that it is basically done. Do you ever really finish with these sorts of things? Today is Monday. I got Frolic off the blocks and took it out for a ride on Saturday. I needed to burnish the new brakes and I wanted to see how it pulled. The last time it was moved was when it came here from Mt. Nebo WV. I was in the truck, but my friend who helped me out did the driving. Everything seemed good. Last night we (Kathy and I) did an overnight at Douthat State Park, a campground about 20 miles from here. We took notes on what we had forgotten, and what we need to diddle with, but basically, everything worked fine. Here are some pictures and comments of/about the trailer when I got it and what it is now.    I found the trailer looking at Criag's List. It was sitting on blocks in a back yard in Mt. Nebo WV. At the time, I was living in Guam. With the help of some friends from my church, I was able to put new tires on it and drag it to my hous

Big Trip #9, Utah, Arizona, & New Mexico

Image
 I need to finish this travel log up. I figure I'll do one more Big Trip post after this one. Ten is plenty. Our granddaughter, Carrington, is an artist. While we were at her and Harrison's house, Frolic was parked out front. She gave us this lovely portrait of our camper before we left. Before we leave, though, here is a picture of Harrison and Carrington with Clark. We left the Provo area and went South in Utah. When I planned the trip I failed to take into account that this was Labor Day Weekend. That kind of complicated things. We were fortunate to find a campground with an opening. As the name would imply, Bryce Zion Campground is between two of Utah's national parks.  Here is the entrance to B/Z Campground. The other picture is the view from behind and to the left. We had hoped to see both National Parks, but crowding at Zion slowed us up, so we decided to just enjoy Zion. As usual, our pictures don't do it justice. It was a fairly short trip down to the Kaibab Na

Moving forward, slowly, on three fronts:

 My project has been delayed by some joyful travel and rainy weather. Last week, we spent the remainder of our frequent flyer miles to visit our son and his family, in Texas. A late plane/missed connection, extended our trip by a day, United put us up in a hotel. It was nice, and the delay gave us an opportunity to have a lovely meal and a great visit with some dear friends. Rose and Tom served at Faith Church in Guam. Tom was our pastor. They "retired" a year before us and live in the Chicago area.  It was all great, but none of it advanced the renewal of the Frolic. Jesus gives new life instantaneously, not so, when Howard does it. Anyhow, I've been able to spend a couple of days working on the trailer this week. Partly because it has been rainy, and partly to stave off boredom with some tedious tasks, I've adopted a strategy of going back and forth between several tasks. I'm continuing to remove the skin, where needed. It looks like all of the wall siding will
