No room in the Inn



Feb 11,2017

This won't be long, I am boon docking in the parking lot of the store at Menifee Thousand trails.  I left yesterday, had a wonderful drive, beautiful weather, stopped at ALDI's and got groceries, a crock pot ( 5 qt. programmable, oval) for $19.99, and a smoothie mixer that will crush ice.  I also stopped at the trift store to take back the printer and in exchange I got 3 tops and a purse for $14.95.
When I arrived at Menifee, I was not scheduled to come in until Sunday and they were FULL. I had forgotten that I was planning to go to the Pomona, CA., FTHCM 17th Anniversary and didn't make arrangements. (I'm having too much fun!)   So I am boon docking in the parking lot.  I just called and they are still FULL, but they will call me if somebody checks out early.
This led me to have a very peaceful, night un-tethered from the world and as a result, I thought about the systems we are addicted and chained to, that make us feel we can't live without them.  For example, I found out that the next park, near San Diego, DOESN'T HAVE INTERNET OR PHONE SERVICE!  YIKES!!!  I can't live without it because I couldn't send my blogs!  OH NO!  This won't do, so I think I will change my reservations.

Yesterday after I got settled in the parking lot, my friend Judy came over and we got caught up, she may go with me today to Pomona.  The good news is, I don't have to unhook to go, see, the Lord knows best.  I am out of water in my tank but I have enough gallons and drinking water.  By the way, have you seen water machines that dispense drinking water when you bring your own jug?  They have them all over California and there is one here at the store for 30 cents a gallon.  I remember growing up drinking water straight from the river, (rivers were different then) never thinking we would one day buy water!

It is cloudy and going up to 60 degrees today.
