Great Day!!! New Motorhome and Lunch with Friends

On Tuesday we left Heather and the family and headed to Amarillo, Texas.  Bob had viewed a motorhome on Ebay and after it didn't sell, he contacted the owner about looking at it.  We had two more motorhomes to check out back in Tucson if this one didn't work out.  So we left Heather's not knowing whether we would return in a few days or in a few weeks, depending on if we headed on to Tucson.  We also had friends in Amarillo, who were young married in our church in Ventura twenty years ago.  Infact, Heather was in their wedding as a junior bridesmaid and walked down the aisle with Brad Feyma.  They made a very cute couple.  We made plans to have lunch with Bryan and Jenna Tackett on Wednesday after we had seen the motorhome.

We had a 9:00 a.m. appointment to view the motorhome.  Bob has been looking for a Tiffin for some time.  He has heard that Tiffin's are known for quality and good customer service.  (Besides, we met Bob Tiffin at the Pomono RV Show, in October.)  We arrived on time and I knew when we got out of the car that this was the one!  It is a 40' Tiffin Phaeton, 2004.  The people were so nice and walked us through every part of the motorhome.  Before we test drove the motorhome, Bob was in love with it and I was happy he was happy. 

Pralines, our sheltie, also like the fact that these people were dog lovers and accepted her with open arms.  Pralines was comfortable in the motorhome immediately.  She slept under the table on our test drive and when we got back and the slide was moved out, she didn't even move a muscle.

At almost 1:00 p.m. Bob had made arrangements to purchase the motorhome and we left to meet Jenna and Bryan for a later than planned lunch.  We drove to the Tackett's home to leave Pralines with their dog.  We met Jenna at the  Country Barn Steak House for a wonderful lunch.  They wanted to take us somewhere that we might not eat at in other cities.  It was delicious!!!!  We talked for several hours.  Even though it had been 20 years, it was like we saw them last Sunday.  They invited us to see their daughter Emily play basketball on Thursday night, Bryan is the coach. And then to see their son, Jonathan on Friday in his first play in a starring role.  Unfortunately, we had to get back to Dallas to arrange to get a tow package for our car but we hope to meet their children when we come back to Amarillo to pick up our motorhome.
