It's over

One more day in St. Augustine, where we visited some of the sites we wanted to re-visit. Memorial Monday. The Memorial Church was already closed on Sunday. Guess what, the Memorial Church was closed on Memorial Day as well. As were most churches I wanted to go inside. Go figure. I was disappointed. We meandered in some small streets out side the beaten path where we found a nice little restaurant. Lunch was delicious. After  having re-gained some of our strength we did one more shopping trip to stock up on our provision so I don't have to go shopping at home immediately.

410 miles - we have made good time and arrived back home in the afternoon.

Dicker was not sure what had happened. He was in a "big house" running loose. After a few nibbles it did not took him long to find the cat door and out he was. Sitting under the car, all big-eyed and scarred. Rupert coaxed him out and he was brought in, again. After a short while he settled in and he was finally home, too. We had nice surprise awaiting for us as we settled with a well deserved cocktail in our hands on the deck;

Mitzi-Katzi was there. Meowing and demanding pets.

We were pretty sure she would be gone by the time we were back. And Wanda would for sure not let us know while we are on the road. Wanda, you did great being a step mama, thank you!

After sleeping in we started out slow. I cleaned some of the trailer out, washed, dried and put away most of the clothing we had, way too much by the way. Rupert made a trip to the post office and came back with one of these huge crates. Gladly there were not many bills in them. But within the day we filled our weekly batch of paper that goes towards recycling. The living room table is filled with all the goodies we "collected" during this trip. I have got some great additions for my heart collection.

I got that near Bryce Canyon

Yup, that's me (my ;-) ) the "prickly heart".

Half of the sofa is covered with all the maps and information on all the cities and sites we have been to. Waiting to be sorted out. Although knowing me hubby, most of it will find its way into a safe place. Because!

In the afternoon we settled in front of the computer. Rupert wanted to read all the posts that I have written on this trip. (And yes, I did notice all the typos) Can you believe it; some of the things we could not remember (at once). Like the one time when it rained cats and dogs while in a rest area before NO, or that he treated me to Olive Garden. Little things, but still. Tomorrow we'll hook up the camera to the TV and look at all the pictures. (That will keep us busy). Talking about TV; We brought the dish receiver with us, figuring we will watch "some" TV during those weeks. HA - we turned it on only twice. And we were often wondering about our fellow campers, with their huge antennas and/or one or sometimes even two dish bowls sitting on their "yard". It was only "us" that were sitting in "our yard". Well, one has to have the priorities straight.To this effect....
