After our salad lunch I decided to get started on the curtains we bought for the Jayco. We've had the Jayco about 2 1/2 years so time for things to start falling apart. The Jayco has pull down blinds on the windows. Ever since the beginning, some of the window blinds never stayed up..you'd open the blind and down it would slip. We had two of them fixed while under warranty, but didn't last long, so Ken made some u shaped things that would go over and under the valance to keep the shades up. Well the biggest shade over the back window, was crap! Finally he had to take the string out and we manually pushed it up and then the u shaped thing would hold the shade. uhhh...So we decided to buy or make a curtain that would fit the window. Found a brown curtain at Walmart for $10.00 that just needed to be shortened to fit the window. We bought the 63 inch and needed to be shortened to 37 inches. So rather than lose half the curtain I folded it up and sewed it to it. Gave us half a room darkening curtain. If I'd have realized what I was going to do I would have bought an 84 inch curtain. So now you know what I have to do. But this curtain won't go to waste, as we know it's just a matter of time till the other blinds break then this set will go on the smaller windows.

So the day was pretty productive, without leaving home. I like those days!
Ken on the other hand worked outside most of the day. He's working on a watering system for the little garden that'll work while we're gone. It's been so hot lately that the garden is at a standstill. The little tomatoes are still the same size and there's still no squash. Weird, but the local news said to expect this. Ken also decided to run a watering system to the trees on the property line. The people who owned the house before us, planted a lot of trees on the property line. The woman who lived next door took the responsibility of watering them all for like 20 years or so and the expense for doing that too. So Ken's running the water line on our side so that he can turn on our water and water the trees twice a week or so during the summer months.
Wednesday...
I made cookies and some 7 layer treasure bars this morning which are going to the freezer for next week..still trying to get ahead.
Ken made the trip to Lowe's in Fernley to pick up the stuff he needed to finish the watering system. We're headed for Reno tomorrow and figured we wouldn't have time to do it all. As I write this blog he's still outside trying to get it done.

Tomorrow, Reno for Winco shopping and Sam's Club too. We're stopping by the bank for the pink slip for the fishing boat and trailer so I can give them to Eric when I pick up the boys on Sunday.
I did call Cave Lake State Park and talked to a nice Ranger who said the campgrounds don't normally fill for 4th of July..so that's good news. He told me where to buy fishing licenses in Ely for the boys. So hoping that all turns out well. I called Great Basin National Park and she said after the 4th we should be able to get a campsite. (they don't take reservations)..
