Home Again

Theresa and I had a perfect drive here with weather and traffic all in order. We managed the 17 hour drive the first day covering 1634 km and finishing the trip with 8 hours the second day and only having to go 910 kms. Our home was in good order but we had the first day work of getting the place livable. Taking off some shutters to bring in the light, trying to get the water to run as we have a well and septic and sweeping up the dust and dead bugs from our fumigating when we left. After a few hours we had the power and hot water working and the beds made so we decided to sit and enjoy the warm evening sunlight and welcome our return to paradise with a cool drink.

There was much more to do but with a little encouragement I sat and talked of the plans for the next few days. I wanted to put the garden on a high priority but was overruled and the shutters and vacuuming won out. It is exciting to make our move every 6 months but there are times when more stability and less change could be welcome. I look forward to buying a new computer and getting down to some serious writing in the weeks ahead. We both look forward to our daily bike rides to see our eagles and the swim afterwords. There is little down time here and we love. We are back home again.
