We ate in our mobile home

No, it isn't here yet.  But there was a nice big dog pen behind the mobile home that the former owner didn't want, so we went to get it.  Cliff wanted to take some more measurements, too.  I made a thermos of coffee and packed a lunch, and we sat down at our future kitchen table and ate.



Cliff was outside, crawling underneath the place, and I was walking around inside, figuring out where I'd put my bed and dresser.  As I exited the bedroom, for some reason I decided to make sure the door shut and latched properly. 



Indeed it did, but it was locked when I closed it.  Here we haven't even slept in the place, and I've locked us out of the bedroom.  Cliff had to find a wire to jimmy the lock.



It was terribly windy, but we saw lots of motorcycles on the road.  We saw two, at different times, with sidecars; not something we see often.  We had to take the car because we were pulling a trailer to get the dog pen.



There's the dog pen, after we got it home.
  It's 5' X 15'.  I put Sadie in it, but she hates it; her tie-out gives her lots more room.  All she would do was bark at me, as if to say, "Let me out of jail!" 

However, this would make a nice pen for a couple of chickens.  Or perhaps Cliff's sister will use it sometimes for her little miniature Dachshund, when she's here.

That was a nice outing you two had today. LOL on locking the bedroom door. That is a nice size pen for when it is needed. Helen

A pen that size could be good for a lot of things.....visiting pets for one.

That's a nice pen and very worth getting for free!  We have three like that in which we put our six dogs when we don't want them running free in the back yard.  Their houses are in them and they get fed in there too.
