Back in the "Y"

Long road home

So. January 14 to March 2nd.
Seven weeks.
Seemed like enough.
Hankering to get home.                                                    
Enough of the gyspy life --- for now.

Looking forward to: grandchildren, our bed, showers whenever we want, ditto laundry, taking up more space.

Nina says: I'll take snow over cacti any day!!!

Well, I'm NOT excited by the foot of snow that still blankets southern Michigan. Addendum: very crusty icy snow after a touch of freezing rain two days ago. Nor am I enthralled by the very cold temps still embracing this place we call home. However, the positives are listed above, plus a thousand and one insignificant taken-for-granted things that you just do without in a space the size of the Pickle Bus.
Last week the weather had turned chilly everywhere but western Arizona. Those two nights we stayed in Bisbee? Cold!
So we headed east. We spent an extra night at Oliver Lee State Park near Alamagordo, New Mexico, when we looked at a weather map and realized we needed to slow down our northeastern progress if we wanted to  stay behind a New Mexico/Texas/Oklahoma snowstorm. We drove 50 miles south to El Paso, then made our way east and north, dodging the crappy weather. An overnight in Lamesa, Texas, in an RV "park" behind a metal building convenience store that boasted a drive-up window for cigarette and beer purchases, and then two very long days of driving and we pulled into our driveway at 314 N. Clubview Dr.
The 1st birthday party for our favorite grandson is this Saturday. And we'll be there!!!!!

Guadalupe Mountains National Park near Salt Flat, Texas, was a bit frosty last Saturday, the 28th of February.


Love the southwest!
