New Name

I just don't feel like processing pictures today so the images from Moss Landing will just have to wait.


Somehow, when we arrived in Moss Landing we missed the very obvious entrance to the KOA.  We went a little way past it and turned around, then we drove past it a second time. 


(We were later told by Levonne that she and the manager watched us drive by.)


We stopped down the street from it, and I went into the Post Office to ask directions.  Two nice ladies were getting their mail and walked out with me to point out the KOA which was all of a half block away. 


  They looked at the Alfa and asked: "Is that your Big White Thing?"


When I reboarded the Alfa I told Craig what they had called it and he decided that would be its new name.


"The Big White Thing"


I will probably still call it The Alfa.


Other bits:
We have ordered walkie-talkie head sets to use when getting in or out of our yard, or backing into park spots.


I called and requested an estimate from a stump grinding company to remove the stump which will widen the upper drive a bit.


I ordered a $10 toy Class A RV that I can play with to help me understand how to give better backing up directions.


We will do better next time! 

Names

Several people have asked me if we will be naming our new (to us) motor home.  Before we found her I played with several possible names, but now none of them are right.


Boats get names.  And this one is as big as a boat and will be taking us on land cruises.  Boats are referred to as "she" and that feels right for her as well.  But as for now she doesn't have an official name.


We have always had a difficulty with the naming of our furry family members.  Several times the names they were given upon joining our family did not "stick."  One cat started out as Niblick because she was found on a golf course and I guess a niblick is a kind of golf club. But we just called her "the cat" and later "Momma Cat" after she had kittens.


One of my yellow labs started out as "Blondie" but quickly became "Odie" when she was dominated by the cat.


"Kittyarra" a cat name picked out before getting the cat, became "Spookie" because he was black, it was Halloween, and he was a scardy cat and easily spooked.


So for now our motor home is simply "the Alfa."  It feels like the right handle.  And it is a she.


One more day ... 

What's in a name ...

If I ever buy an RV I will call it "Rigby."

If Craig ever buys an RV he will call it "Possum."

If we ever buy an RV together it would have to be called

"Rigby Possum"

or "Rigby" for short!

The dreams just won't go away!
