Getting Back "In the Swing" at Home!

Friday was an uneventful day of driving and towing!  Hallelujah!  We were back in our driveway by 2:30.  Then  the 3 hour marathon began.  Because of the below freezing temperatures, we removed anything that could possibly freeze from Willie - toiletries, food items, cleaning supplies, batteries, etc.  Seemed like everything but the Kitchen sink!!!! 

After everything was in the house, Ken went to work winterizing Willie while I put most things in their designated place in our house.  By the time we had everything done, we were exhausted.

Jamie, our youngest daughter, had invited us for dinner, so headed there at 6:30.  It was Cali's 4th birthday today and when we called to sing to her earlier today, she said she doesn't feel any older!  Just wait!!!!!  Her almost 6 year old sister, Bria, told her she did look taller!!!!  Such cute things from the mouth of babes!  It was so good to see our daughter and her family.  We had such a nice evening, only getting home around 11:15. 

It amazing how quickly you get back into a routine and pattern.  We were at the birthday party on Sat. for both Bria and Cali, another fun time with family and friends.  At the time we also got to see our son-in-law Bob and our other 2 granddaughters, Sam and Katelyn.  So much fun for PaPa and Grandma!  Our daughter, Lanie, was in Savannah for a long weekend with Bob's sisters, aunts, and cousins, a good break for her!

We also got to visit with our camping friends, Fred and Doloris, on our way to the birthday party.  We spent about an hour having wine and snacks in their new Wildcat 5th wheel they brought home while we were in Florida.  It is a great floor plan and in perfect condition for a 2008 model.  Someone took very good care of it!  So good to see them again too!

Sunday was a church day, breakfast with Fred and Doloris, time at home, and then attending a small church group. 

There really is a period of adjustment when you return from a relatively long trip in a different climate.  We can hardly deal with the cold temperatures and then today, Monday, we had about 2" of snow!  What is that about????? 

Willie liked the palm trees better!

Already looking forward to our next camping adventure in April!  Willie doesn't like being home!
