Today, merely hints of three ideas deemed by some as crazy, that, will probably not become realities – because Leon has second thoughts about all the work involved on idea one. I can see that happening with ideas two and three, too.

I wanted to remove the booth and replace it with something I have not seen done in anyone else’s RV. We even marked the “future” dinette and existing kitchen out with painters tape on our concrete floors at the rental condo to see if it would work. It would be convertible for different trips: just the two of us or with a ‘future?’ grandchild in tow. It is brilliant. ; ) Leon said it wouldn’t work, but when we laid it out on the floor, he realized it might. But, we may not do it ’cause of the work involved – and Leon and our son like the booth. Yuck!

We have to make a decision soon ’cause of the new flooring and radiant heating we want to put in, though I don’t know if we can do that with just 30 amp service. That said, once the decision is made one way or the other, I will either do a post on my idea that never came to fruition or post pics of the final results.

I have an idea for a desk in a most unusual place – and if we pull it off, I may have to give in and let Leon have at least most of his booth. ‘Cause that is another idea he told me flat out was insane (or was that inane?). Then days later he said, let’s see if we can make it work. So, some concessions may be necessary. Once we decide, I will share my idea, so you can either marvel, shake your head, or just nod in agreement that I have insanity issues.

My third idea is to not copy the pantry that someone else did, but use an idea that leaped from my brain into Leon’s ear. It would work IF there is enough room, though again, I got that look from Leon since he is the one who would get stuck making my idea a reality. We forgot to measure last time we were at the storage facility. Stay tuned for that idea, too, whether we can use it or not.

May your days be bright, your evenings all you want them to be, and your mind, uncluttered.

That is not true; my brain is in complete chaos about Panoply’s design, but on to the pic of the gift that will help future picnics, and therefore, future calm.

Isn’t it cute? About 47″ long, with two little benches that when folded click in for storage beneath the folded picnic table. Our son and daughter-in-law gave it to us for Christmas, their way of “approving” our RV dreams. OK, that’s not it at all, but it was our first gift for Panoply – and a thoughtful one at that! Don’t know where we can keep it, but Leon will make it work, ’cause he knows better than to let ME find a place for it – that will involve construction – or a new car.

Of course, with a green table and benches, one blue folding chair and one bright orange folding chair, and a beige mat left by previous owners, we will be known as the Mismatch Duo, but all money is going into safety related items and into changing out some items for less ‘toxic’ items, not decorating. That is just the way I want it!
