HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO BLAINE’S BABY SISTER, SANDY!!!!

 

To celebrate, I baked a batch of chocolate chip cookies, although she prefers my chocolate cake.  Too bad she wasn’t around to eat some.  😊

And on one of the past few days, I made a batch of meatballs.  I just can’t remember when it was.  Definitely not yesterday.  😊

 

We have a new neighbor.  Blaine says this is a million dollar coach.  It’s made by Newell.  Just looking at the outside, I can tell it’s quite pricey – the paint that is so good, it even matches on the slides and the top that hides all the systems on the roof.  It looks taller than ours, but it isn’t.  However, it is longer.  This one’s probably 45′ as opposed to our 40′.

 

Since we haven’t been doing much, I took the time to look one up.  The specs below are directly from the Newell website and are for a 2019 coach that’s currently for sale – just in case anyone is interested in buying one.

So this is what a $2,000,000 coach looks like!  I don’t remember seeing any of these at the trade shows we went to, but then, people who can afford this probably don’t attend trade shows.

All I can say is WOW!  But I don’t see heated floors anywhere in the specs.  For $2M I’d want heated floors.  And I don’t care for the exterior paint on this one, but the neighbor’s was real nice.  And I’m disappointed at how my pictures of their pictures turned out.  If you want to see how it really looks, go to newellcoach.

However, as nice as it is, I’m not sure I’d be comfortable in it.  But then again, maybe I’m spewing sour grapes.  I’ll never know unless I try it.  😊

Blaine found an ad for a 2014 with 24,000 miles on it selling for $1,175,000.  What a deal!

 

 

Blaine went out to walk around for a while.  His back/hip are bothering him a bit. The goats were out!

 

That’s it for today. . . .
