Back Home: 130 Fairway Drive, Washington, NC

The picture shows Sophia, Olivia, Bailey and Dawn on the Nittany Lion in State College, PA.

We are back at the homestead in Washington, NC having departed from Mechanicsburg at 4:00 a.m. on Saturday and arriving in Washington at noon -- the journey in 8 hours. There were 3 stops for fuel - 2 in VA where we paid $4.47 and one in NC (Washington) at $4.69. Trip mileage: 411. We had a great time in PA and hated to come home but all good things end. Now the reality of maintaining a house is staring us in the face -- yard and house work. Of course getting home brought on the heat with the temperature going to 99 in Greenville yesterday. More good news, The electric company turned off the power between 11:00 pm and 6:00 this morning - maintenance work the they claim.

After moving most of the things from the coach to the house, it was time to hit the links for a few holes. The game was a little rusty but not as bad as it could have been.

The trip home was far from boring as Audrey was helping our daughter and the 3 girls travel from State College back to Pinehurst, NC. Every 30 minutes or so there were phone calls going back and forth to say nothing about text messages. In the end she and the girls got confused only once and that was in the Greensboro, NC area.

In the next few days, we'll be getting the yard work done and start the task of waxing the coach before parking it and placing the protective cover on it. There is talk about the Pinehurst crew coming here for the July 4 weekend or our making at trip to Pinehurst.

Audrey is about ready to take a morning walk while I decide where to begin the yard work. When she gets back, it will be off to town to do some grocery shopping. The cupboards are empty.

All for now. Not sure how many posts will be made now that we are back home. Check here every so often. One never knows what we are apt to do.
