Home Again - Spring Again In Pennsylvania

It was a long day, we started home at 8:45 this morning, and arrived here in our driveway at 6:00 pm this afternoon.

We did stop twice to fill with gas and once for lunch and for potty breaks, but other than that Lou drove, however, it was a nice day to drive. It was cloudy for the most of the day with some rain, but the closer we got to home the nicer the weather was. The temperature was a constant 65 degrees.

We really did not unpack much when we got here. Steve saw us when we drove up and quickly come down to help us get backed in. We had stopped at the church to unhook the car to make the transition easier. Our yard was a welcome sight. We certainly have to thank Krista and Steve, they had kept the grass cut and everything under control while we were away. We usually have mountains of mail; however, Steve had gathered it daily and Krista had sorted it and sent on what we needed and discarded all of the junk mail, so it was so much easier this year. They even harvested our asparagus and had it prepared for our dinner. Another welcome sight was Michelle at our front door several hours after we were home, our door was her first stop on her way home from college, we had missed her also.

Lou and I were surprised when we saw Krista, as she only has a month to go with her pregnancy and she has lost weight, she knows her baby weighs 7 1/2 pounds and she is seeing her specialist twice weekly now and so far every thing seems stable. Baby still has SVT and must be monitored but we are all hopeful and cautious.

Estee was also glad to be home and she had to make her rounds to make sure everything was under control.

For some reason we do not have a working land line telephone, so we can not telephone anyone, we will have to report the problem and then we can call the rest of the family and let them know we have returned home.

Our next SMART camp out is next weekend, perhaps we will have time to get unpacked in time for that!!!
