Home again, home again, jiggity jog!

September 16 – The party is once again over!  It seems we have so much time when we leave but once we get to this point, we look back and it went so fast.  It was another great trip with lots of lighthouses seen in addition to several of the Great Lakes.  We had our ups and downs, but we got past them and were very happy that we chose Michigan for our trip.

This year is in Orange
We spent quite a while packing more stuff and stripping the bed and bathroom.  I had a short coughing spell before bed last night and did OK all night but was getting a bit nauseous again this morning so made a bottle of ginger ale and sipped on it all the way home.  Traffic on I-75 is always heavy and once we hit the turnpike it wasn’t quite so bad.  We literally HIT a lot of love bugs and it showered just enough that I didn’t have to put my wipers on, but it did wash some of the bugs off.  Bill has a job lined up for tomorrow!

It was 1 PM when we arrived at the warehouse and Mark left his slides out so we couldn’t park on the concrete.  We only loaded a few more things in the truck and took that home and went back for a second load.  We have one more trip tomorrow for the clothes on hangers and some things down in the compartments.  The fridge was a lot in itself.  I had bags of blueberries and rhubarb!

Jared was here when we got home and later Kam brought Shiloh and Jude over as she’d taken them to her house to the pool and then to dinner while he was moving to their new place.  They’ve both grown in 3 ½ months!  It was so good to see them!  They are excited about their new place and I know it will take a while to get settled in.  This is their last night here and I know they would rather be at their own place but it worked out fine for the summer.

So, I’m putting to rest another summer adventure, but a new one is happening the 25th as my friend Melissa and I head off for Ireland for 10 days!  I won’t have my laptop so won’t be journaling but will post some things on Instagram for any of my readers who are on.

Happy Travels to all my friends and readers!
