Brief Interlude

Once we left Gales camp we made a long, fast trip back into the states and towards home.  We arrived home without incident and because we had turned the water and gas  off and the house was as hot as an oven we opted to spend the first night with Sarah and her family. We got to her house before the boys were out of school. Sarah drove us first to Jake's school where she got him out of class @ 10 minutes early. When he first came down the hall he didn't see us and asked Sarah why she had come to get him. He then saw Garry and I. He got the most quizzical look on his face and said "Nana??" He couldn't believe we were actually standing there. Then he got the biggest grin and gave us both long hugs and scolded me for being gone too long. Then it was off to pick up Brandan where the same scenario was repeated.
I was so happy to see them. Jake has grown 3 inches I think.  We spent the night there and then got to our house the next morning. It was weird being in so much space again. We couldn't remember where some of the light switches were or how the coffee maker worked. I am trying to overlook thge weed infested, dead garden and lawn.  We off loaded a lot of stuff from the camper as we don't think we will need it for the next leg of our trip.  We had the boys over for a sleep over on Saturday night. Monday we started working on all the items we had on our list - oil change fror the camper, banking issues, registration for ALL our vehicles, etc. We then headed down to see my step mom in Virginia for a few days, We just got back today and the day after tomorrow we leave again for the last planned month of this adventure. 
Our first stop will be in Hershey, PA where we are meeting up with 30+ owners of other PleasureWays for a rally that also coincides with the Hershey RV show. Then on to Massachusetts to see Michael, Karen and the our other 2 grandsons.
We will update this as we go.
