I got my car back from the shop today – it was a small fix and didn’t even cost much! I was right it doesn’t even say in the manual that the rear differential fluid needs to be changed every so often. The mechanic had to call the Honda number to find out and as soon as he told them the problem it was like oh you have to change the fluid every 60-90,000 miles. Why wasn’t it on the maintenance schedule? We have no local Honda dealership so take care of regular maintenance here at quick oil change places. The trip is on schedule — now if it would just stop raining!! I have a motorhome to load up and it is raining off and on all day. Mainly I have clothing left to put in the camper and some food. Not too much but it always seems to come down to the last day and then I am checking off one list after another. It will get done.
I managed to finish the quilt! one down and how many to go? “Walking the Primrose Path” though is done the rest will wait. I think I have 2 small quilt tops to quilt and a wallhanging. I’m not even going to try to baste one of them to bring with me to quilt. I have 3 projects packed and that is plenty. I will get around to these smaller quilts when we get home.
I got one more pineapple block finished the other day for a grand total of 4 six inch blocks done -
hum I wonder how many for a queen – probably 150 or so 
maybe it will be finished 5 to 10 years from now!
Mike took some before and after photo’s of how he redesigned the closet and the cabinet area of the bathroom in the motorhome, here are the photo’s of the closet. The before picture of the closet is on the left. Couldn’t get the whole closet in because of such a small area to take the photo, there is one more rod to hang clothes on at the top. Here is the after photo on the right. The very bottom has room for shoes and the pull out plastic containers will be great for fold up clothes. I have pant hangers for the top rod for jeans and jackets although we have enough other space to spread clothes out here 
and there as well.
For the bathroom the medicine cabinet although looks roomy is very narrow so he added one 
more cabinet in there. On the left is the before and on the right is the after. We need to figure out where to hang the hand towel holder so it isn’t in the way of the sink. We will take care of that tomorrow – or while traveling, he has his bag of tools with him and we have the towel holder that he took down to make room for the cabinet. The holder had not been in a good place as when the towel was hanging it was over the light switch.
As always click on any picture to enlarge. Someone on one of my quilting lists asked for a photo of the outside of the motorhome – Diane this is what it looks like here on the left. This photo is from last summer on our first outing with the motorhome after we got it. See it is small, but we love it. The really neat thing about this small home is that the drivers and passenger seats turn around so it becomes the living area when parked adding much more useable space.
