And you were my mentor in the beginning whether you knew it or not. <br />Anything on the foot hurts so bad seems like. It is healing and I soaked it so that helped a lot. The foam mattress helped so much, thank goodness Walmart had it.<br />Can you imagine what those views are going to look like when the trees leaf out?? We will get to see 3 seasons here. Yes, for sure, many many more good things. Thanks you so much, yes we MADE IT!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09143950983476086003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225765716488767185.post-45464278324983354212013-04-01T17:23:50.564-07:002013-04-01T17:23:50.564-07:00Well, I am definitely a little late to THIS party!...Well, I am definitely a little late to THIS party! Good grief, you have a million comments already. I just wanted to tell you - ouch! That foot must have really hurt, I'm so sorry. You really had a bad night, hopefully it is healing up well. I also had to get a memory foam mattress at Walmart - my little over-the-cab bunk mattress is not very thick, so I got a 2" one, too. It's almost two years later, and it's still comfortable. I'm glad you invested in the mattress, a good night's sleep is so important. <br /><br />I love your views! Beautiful!!! And I, too, love rain on the roof - I don't hear it nearly enough. For every bad thing that happens to us full-timers, many more good things happen all day long, don't they?<br /><br />Congratulations on being full-timers - you made it!! :)Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16516591720277269204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225765716488767185.post-11036635312175498362013-04-01T15:39:21.634-07:002013-04-01T15:39:21.634-07:00Hello and welcome to the blog.

The dealer had replaced the matress with a new one, but it was to short, so just a topper was not the solution. We spent big bucks, but then I had a problem with the memory foam reflecting my body heat back at me. $160 later I bought a "cooling matress pad" and put a quilt over that. The bed is now ver very comfortable and not hot. I hope your solution is also good. If your bed seems hot, you can put more between you and the faom.<br /><br />It s all better than sleeping on the ground in a tent!Merikayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378095339747943548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-225765716488767185.post-88285331619013425862013-04-01T07:59:39.796-07:002013-04-01T07:59:39.796-07:00Oh there is already more positive and it has only ...Oh there is already more positive and it has only been 2 days.
