The case of the shrinking RV

I swear the Ellis RV got smaller this week. Maybe it's that we're in the midst of 37' RVs that are more expensive than our house in Indiana; maybe it's that we've been just hangin' around the campgound; or maybe it's our third week of cramming a family of six into a 32' space; or maybe its all of the above. Whatever the answer, we have experienced a few tight moments the past couple of days.

We all have our quirks. Katty bounds about the camper like it is a trampoline. Darby hums constantly, even when she's eating. Tatum makes a special effort to annoy people when she's bored. Morgan overreacts to everything - a trait she gets from me. And Terry . . . well, we all give Terry plenty of material. It's a zoo on wheels.

And somehow, all of us seem to feel a calling to the RV galley. This measures about 6' x 8', including the refrigerator, stove, cabinets and table. Of course none, of us are trying to work as a team when we're jam packed into this cubby. Some of us our cooking, a couple of us are getting drinks or snacks, some of us are coloring at the table. And we're all either snapping at each other or practicing one of the quirks from the above paragraph.

Anyway, the crews asleep now and I'm going to go take a walk with my husband, or as Katty says, "My smoochie boyfriend."

It sounds like you are having a great trip! Slippers has been anxiously awaiting your arrival. He talks about Muffin every day and how much he misses him. Have fun in Cali and drive safe to Colorado. We will see you in about 2 weeks!
