On Monday, October 3, at about 1 pm we arrived back at our home. We were on the road for nearly five months, covered 5500 miles, and traveled through 13 states. We had a really great summer and a really special welcome home here in the community. It is so great when the neighbors come over as you return to welcome you back again.

On Tuesday we went into Saches to see our grandchildren, and their parents as well. The welcome from our two grandchildren was as great as we expected, and is always special. But even more special was the fact that our daughter (she is much too special to call her an in-law) and our son presented us with a welcome home present! Because our daughter had noticed how much we enjoyed the Keurig that she got for Christmas was, she saw to it that they had one for us, upon our return! It was surly a big surprise and a wonderful ending to a terrific summer!

We are not yet completely settled back into our house as yet, but given a few more days we will be. It was really nice to be home once more.
