We’re home. We had a marathon day, for us at least. 500 miles in one day--rather a lot for how we normally travel. We did make a stop in Shipshewana, Indiana, at Deb’s favorite grocery store, and at B&G Discount to pick up paint supplies for our own work project, and arrived home at about 8pm.
Temperatures dropped steadily as we drove north, and we arrived home in time for the first hard frost of the season. I had to quickly winterize the RV and Deb had to remove any foodstuffs containing water to prevent freezing. Welcome to the North. 🙄
The last leg of a trip home is always somewhat of a supply-run, with groceries and other stuff being thrown on the bed on our pell mell run back home. No attempt at neatness, and we didn’t even make the bed, as we will not be sleeping in it any more on this trip.
And now we join normal life again, six weeks behind. That is evidenced by the pile of mail on the table, although going through this doesn’t take very long. A lot of the pile is junk mail, and a surprising amount of this is for kids who no longer live with us. Feels like a post office in here, just sorting someone else’s mail.
In all we put 2900 miles on the RV and were on the road for six weeks. So this wraps up our sixth volunteer project. Stay tuned for number seven, scheduled for early January in Texas. See y’all then.
