Back in the late 80's co worker got picked up in a raid on Friday and was back at work on Monday morning. Thought for sure he would be gone a week, not just the weekend.

I lost my anxiety over my kids when they were in their late teens. They ran with a good group of friends and I was usually the last person they would call when something went wrong. They were very good at figuring it out and getting back on the road. They would call me after the fact to let me...

When the kids were young, the 5th wheel worked great. Only downfall is the lack of storage in the 5th wheel. We had to load the toys then pack all the camp chit around them. The MH has much more storage and depending on the model, can have as much or more tank capacity as a trailer.

We leave ours on the mountain during the summer. Mice were horrible this year. Tried the moth balls, soap, repellent, etc. We had the regular traps and sticky traps and would catch 5-6 between visits inside. What I found that worked from keeping them from getting inside is packing steel wool...

Do your parents have a trust? If they do, the power of attorney should already be in place. If they don't, get that done first thing!! Makes things much easier in the long run.
