Jim and I took the Casita to my mom’s house and left it there.  Our trip is over and I will miss all the traveling.  Jim went home with the Silverado and I took mom’s clothes back to her.  I stopped at Jack in the Box and got her some tacos and onion rings for lunch.  I did a few errands for her and then went back to the Casita and spread a bag of fire ant granules around the Casita on the ground.  It is now stored in the country instead of on cement at a storage lot and I don’t want to take a chance of ants taking up residence in our little trailer.
