Friday 5-5 We’re Home

 

After 40 days on the road and 4552 miles we are home. We had a super time.

This morning we went to town to start the mail back up and go grocery shopping. When Larry went inside the post office to pick up our mail he was surprised how little mail we had, of course almost all of our mail goes to the UPS Store, before returning to the car he went through the mail and found out it was all junk mail, he was going to throw it all away in the trash when a lady told him they had a recycling bin for paper so he put it in the bin.

The next stop was HEB. Everytime we return from a trip our refrigerator and freezer are bare. Today we didn’t have to get as much as usual. During the trip we would occasionally stop at a Walmart to pickup what we needed. When I emptied out the Minnie we were able to partially restock the house refrigerator.

The last stop was the UPS Store for our mail. The lady working there was very happy to see Larry and gave him a hug. Most of our mail gets delivered there so Larry had mail to sort when we got home.

By the time we got home it was time for lunch. After being gone almost six weeks we had cob webs and bugs hanging from the eaves and porches so when we finished our lunch Larry went outside and worked on getting rid of them. He started off using the blower, that got most of them off but he ended up washing some of the eaves, garage doors and the porches. When he finished doing this he washed the back porch railing, scrubbed the back porch, and the gas grill. While Larry was doing all this I worked on cleaning the Minnie. Yesterday when we got home I unloaded the Minnie and starting doing laundry. So today I wiped down the inside of the Minnie, vacuumed it out and washed the floors.

Larry and I worked on doing our cleaning until it was time for dinner. While we were on our trip a couple of shows that we watch on PBS started their new seasons. After dinner we watched the first available episode of Call the Midwife. Call the Midwife already had five episodes this season but only the fourth and fifth are available, we watched the fourth episode. Next we watched Home Fires. They have shown five episodes and all of them are available, we watched the first two episodes.
