but this morning when we got up it had warmed up…to 30! We weren’t in a hurry to get anywhere with it so very icy. Larry was worried that it would be too slippery to get the trailer in the backyard…puh-shaw I say! He can do anything. 
The trailer and truck are the dirtiest I think they have ever been!
He unhitched the truck and we drove over to the house to scope out the situation. Our street hadn’t been scraped which wasn’t a good thing, it would take longer to melt off. We unloaded the stuff from the truck into the garage and then headed to Wal-mart, but they didn’t have what we needed. We then went down the road to the PV Ranch store and yup they had what we needed and what we thought we would never have a need of again!!!! A snow shovel. Then it was back to the house. Larry wanted to get the snow scraped off the grass and dirt where we would be backing the trailer into the backyard 
so as it warmed up we wouldn’t end up with slush. The snow was light so easily scraped away. It was very cold and Larry kept muttering about Arizona.
I walked down to our mailbox and it was full of our last tenant’s mail and even several pieces of our neighbors mail…doesn’t say much for our mail delivery person! Then after Larry was done scraping snow we headed back to the trailer to get it ready for winterizing. I wanted to get all the sinks and the bathroom clean while I had water; Larry added lots of dish soap to the holding tanks so they would clean (in theory) while they sloshed on the way to the dump station at the fairgrounds. The drainpipe had a nice ice plug but it released easily and the tanks weren’t frozen.
In the time it took us to get the trailer ready and the tanks dumped the roads melted off, so as I figured, we had no trouble getting the trailer into the backyard with nary a slip. I cranked the heater up in the house and plugged in the refrigerator and so begins the unloading of the trailer. It is tedious because we don’t have places for everything yet and with new carpet coming on January 10th we don’t want to load up the closets or bookcases. Our main concern is getting stuff out that could freeze, but we decided to keep a little heat in there so we won’t get a lot of sweating moisture bringing icy cold stuff into a warm house.
We brought our two recliners from the trailer into the house until we get our new furniture next month, have to have someplace to stretch out and relax. Larry drained
the water tanks and put the antifreeze in all the drains etc. We placed a trail of stepping stones from the trailer door to the garage door so we wouldn’t track mud into the house and the trailer while making our multitudinous trips back and forth! Larry got the satellite dish set up for internet and we are comfy for now. I LOVE having a bathtub again!
