Today was a very domestic day. We had a long breakfast with lots of warm sunshine coming in the door. So nice to sleep later and relax in the morning. My night owl husband was really happy. After breakfast we gathered all the laundry and went to the laundry room with 5 loads. The hard wired modem connection was in the room next door, so Rick logged on to pay bills online. I don't know how folks managed to be on the road a long time before the Internet. We had a nice lunch and then went shopping.
We went to check out the Edmonton Mall which is bigger than the Mall of America. It has a water park and ice skating rink inside. The Mall was fun to see, but most of the shops are the same as at MOA. The whole mall seems to be aging and a little rundown. I think that the MOA owners are doing a better job of keeping it looking fancy and new. It was fun to watch the skaters - I was a bit surprised at how many folks took advantage of the ice rink.
When we came outside the sky had turned black so we rushed back to the RV to close windows and take down the awning. Rick bought an electric drill to put in more latches and tie downs on the cupboard doors to keep them from opening. Child safety latches seem to do the trick quite well. In addition we need to do something about the sofa which moves around when we go over rough roads. We will be finding more bouncy roads as we head further north.
We had to make one more trip out to Home Depot and Safeway, and then went back to wash some of the dust off the RV so we could see out the windows. Since we are in Edmonton during the Stanley Cup we watched the Hurricanes beat the Oilers on TV. Then called home to talk with Jenn and Arik - I miss them all and we will soon be out of cell phone coverage.
