There is just nothing quite like being home! I'm so happy.
We did have a great time. It was a memorable trip. 6350 miles. 16 states. 28 days.
(and not a cross word between us :)
It did take a while to get re-acclimated, to settle in. First there was the unpacking and putting things away. That was actually a pretty big job! We had that car really packed, and both of us concluded that if we were to do such a trip again, we would pack a lot less, especially in the clothes department. I actually took more shoes than I used.
There have been lots of chores around the house and yard to be done. A storm hit the area on Sunday morning and broke off a big limb of one of our trees. That had to be cut off and cut into pieces and disposed of. There was the laundry to do and grocery shopping. Gerry cut the grass. I picked up the mail at the Post Office, and we sorted that. Had to get the computers up and running again, and plug in the TV and let it get its brains back.
I've been pulling weeds out of flower gardens. They are huge and massive with deep roots. It will take a week to get that job done!
One might think that it would be fun to eat out every night, but nothing could be further from the truth! I love to cook, and Gerry loves to eat my cooking. We eat much more healthily at home. We both feared that we had gained lots of weight during the traveling weeks, but thankfully that doesn't seem to be the case.
Happiness is sleeping in your own bed and cooking your own food.
Plus, I must admit, we really love our routines!
