Back to the homestead!

Sunday, August 9, 2015


Our last day.  Spent some time cleaning and packing up the rest of the groceries for the last leg of our journey.  Finally set out around 10:30 to make the final 4 hours. 


Hit a cloud of flying ants around Vero Beach, but then hit a cloud burst of rain, so it washed them off, which made me very happy!  I was dreading having to wash the bugs off the front when we got back, yet not willing to leave them on to eat the paint.  

We drove into the neighborhood, to an astonished look from the security guard at our gate, which was pretty amusing! We unloaded the cats and most of the other stuff before another downpour hit.




 Clem met me at the door of the coach with a golf umbrella, and I handed the refrigerator things out to him.  By the time we had the freezer things stowed away in the house, the rain had stopped, and we drove the coach up to Jupiter and tucked it away for next time.  It was a fun, and this time relaxing trip, with a nice mix of exploring and visiting, and taking a day here and there to hang out.  Nearly 7 weeks on the road, and it is easy to forget all we have done! But I did love the hanging around parts, too, relaxing and reading.  I would enjoy some "camping" and hiking and exploring nature, but not really Clem's thing.  Maybe this winter we can try a bit of that!  


 I  would have opted to stay up north a bit longer, and as I suspected, it is a virtual sauna here, with at least another month of the same to come!  Oh well.....gives me time to catch up on things inside…..which includes converting my diary into this blog!  Unlike the others, this was created after, rather than during the trip, but I wanted to have a printed book, which we enjoy so much.  I will add the photos .....and then on to plans for our next outing!
