HOME AT LAST (SAFE AND SOUND)




I suppose Cathy and I were pretty anxious to start the trip home as we were out of bed by 5 o’clock. So we had a great breakfast of sausage, eggs and toast while waiting for the sun to come up.

Boy did we time the trip home beautifully; it was a little foggy when we left Jackson at 8:15 with a night time low of 6C and ended up being nice and dry the whole time we were on the road. The sun came out a couple of times and provided a high of 15C as we pulled into our driveway at 2:30. We managed to park the coach and trailer and even unloaded the major items before it started to rain. It has been raining ever since.
Light fog

Still foggy at the border
Oh yea, show us the way.

Still little patches of snow around in the sheltered areas.


Here I am sitting in my comfortable recliner doing this blog and it feels great. Wow, is our house ever big - after being in the coach for the almost 5 months we can walk around for 5 to 10 minutes here without seeing each other. Cathy currently is up stairs having a bath which she has been looking forward to for the last few days.    

Our great neighbours Marlene and Vic who helped look after the house came over with a box full of mail for us. We added the mail to the pile all ready in the house which was collected by Julie and Dave our other wonderful house sitting neighbours. It took me an hour to open and separate the urgent from the not so urgent to the read later piles. Of course the urgent pile is the income tax papers which we will have to get to the accountant in the near future.

I am hoping the rain will do a major clean up of the coach as it has not been washed since out stay in           
California and is in dire need for some attention.
