Coming home is never fun

Coming home is never fun. Boxes of mail to sort, dusty house, overgrown yard riddled with sticks and leaves left over from the winter storms; in short, lots of work. We've been home for three days now and slowly but surely things are falling into place. The Jeep is home from the shop with new inspection sticker, fresh oil , rotated tires and a couple of minor repairs, most of the yard work has been sorted out, and now it's time to go to Portsmouth to see Carolyn's parents. We'll leave tomorrow and return early next week.

We must hurry! Mann has a "honey do" list a mile long and it's not long before we need to hit the road again. We have Motor Home rallies starting April 25 and granddaughter Sara has a cheer leading competition in Hershey, Pa May 3 that we plan to attend. We enjoy PA Amish country in the spring so this will be a good opportunity to visit the PA Amish country and combine the visit with attendance at the cheer leading competition, visit friends Rufus and Susan Barbour in DE and hopefully a visit with our Keys friends Lynda and Al Barone in PA.

Spring and Summer will be busy this year filled with lots of Motor Home activities. We have a Dogwood FMCA Chapter rally at Rockahock April 25 thru 27, a Geocaching rally April 27 through 28, and the FMCA GEAR rally in Richmond June 5 through 8. Mann is a National Director for FMCA so we'll need to be in St.Paul, MN for the International rally and FMCA Governing Board meeting July 14 through 17. By the time we add in a few days for travel and a few more days for fun, it looks like we're scheduled for most of the summer.
