So Long Neighbors

 My neighbors in the rental next to me are not gone yet.  But they will be gone soon.  They plan to leave by May 1.

He is I think going to Georgia, with the RV, to live on friends property and she bought a mobile home over in NE Albany.  It's really nice.  I went there with her yesterday when the first paint contractor came to give her a bid.  She went back later when another came.  The inside needs painted and recaulked at seams.

Other than that, its in great shape.  Nice spacious kitchen.  Big wide open living room with lots of windows.   Two bedrooms proper plus a third room that can be a hobby room, extra bedroom or office.  Laundry room.  Fenced nicely maintained backyard and garden with a large storage shed.   The carport also has a storage shed.

It even has a lift to get groceries, heavy items, even her, from car level to door level.  It's only about five steps, if you use the porch steps but she is disabled. 

It has a covered deck too.  

He's got the RV out front right now.   He hired someone to clean it.   I don't know if its leaving from there to go to Georgia.  J, the lady, said he might be flatbedding it out to Georgia.  I don't really know.   It's a lot of work to move and they only have a little over a month.   

Then it will be new neighbor time again here.  I dread that.   It's a rental house. I think about people with dangerous or constantly barking dogs and also people with excess cars that then get parked all over.  Oh well.  Nothing I can do about it.  

He's trying to sell his classic car--a 93 Cadillac Alantra convertible.   I've only seen him drive it a couple times since they moved here.  It's very cool looking but convertible's in Oregon aren't practical.

  1. Your friend's new place sounds really nice. Hopefully, you can visit there with her often.
    Neighbors really are the luck of the draw. Sometimes, they're good and sometimes they're not. Hopefully, the new neighbors, whoever they are, will be an nice addition to your neighborhood.

    1. It's the same place where I got the last car and trapped the cats in that cul de sac at the trailer park where the two ladies lived at the time. They moved out a few months after I got the car and caught the cats, to assisted living and put their trailer up for sale.

  2. Maybe it my imagination. But it seems like a lot of people are moving to different places.

  4. I had a ride in a convertible once. Inside it was full of dead leaves.
    The mobile home sounds very comfortable, which is important for you to be comfortable when you visit.

    1. I think he has a soft top for it, but those soft tops aren't so great at keeping much out. Leave it out on a sunny Oregon day, forget the tops down, and suddenly its pouring and the car is half full of water. Or bird poop. The geese are migrating overhead currently, the ones who don't stay here all year that is. I'm superstitious about the Canada geese, since I've been targeted successfully twice on their bombing runs. Now I think they use me for practise.

    2. Is there a bullseye on your car roof? ~giggle~ We have lots of Canada geese here leaving nasty piles on every level surface. I have to watch each step along the river path. lol Our worst dive bombing poopers are European starling flocks. Hugs, my dear.

The Usual Chaos

 Just the usual chaos here yesterday. I drove Mister Calm, from the trailer park, to the Salem clinic.   I had two spots but the teacher aft...
