HOME SWEET HOME & THE END OF TRIP 9.
It’s been cold here & sunny. The day after we got home, we did get a few brief snow flurries, but they didn’t stay on the ground. The snow that was forecast for beginning Thanksgiving night and lasting a couple of days has changed completely to no snow and rain for 2 days instead. Oh well.

To: HOME.
Day 404 – It was 30 degrees with no wind this morning when we got up. We sat around with our coffee and tea, looking at the NY Times online. Relaxing, but it’s never feel-good news. The fact that we’re heading home soon is always in the back of our minds. There’s so much to do when you get home, and we really didn’t want this trip to end. What shape will the house be in? Have mice invaded during our 13+ months of being on the road? Have big trees come down and are they blocking our driveway? What appliances will come back on, and what will need to be fixed? Unpacking the RV, now that’s always fun. I’m thinking I should just go back to bed.
A BUSY DAY.
Day 403 – Well, you can’t be lazy every day. We decided to go back to the Brigantine Division of the Edwin B. Forsythe National Wildlife Refuge. It was 30 degrees last night and is supposed to get into the 20’s tonight. It was less windy this morning. We figured we’d better go out today since it continues getting colder for the next few days.

Day 402 – Yep, winter is here. It recently snowed in NY and is supposed to snow again a couple of days after we get home. Here in NJ it is cold and windy. The low last night was 39 degrees, and today the high was only 45. The wind makes it feel much colder than that. We stayed at home in the RV except for a trip to the closest grocery store, 20 minutes away. We don’t mind cuddling with the girls; we’ll take that kind of day anytime.
A STAY-AT-HOME DAY.
Day 401 – It rained hard all night and was very cold and windy today. We stayed at home, wrapped in blankets and cats. It was a very nice day. This campground is quite nice, especially off-season. The campsites are spacious and there are plenty of trees and bushes between the sites. Only a few people are camping now; it will probably get busier over the weekend. For now, it’s peaceful and quiet.Yawn!
COLD & RAINY.
Day 400 – Another cold morning at 33 degrees when we got up, it only reached 52 degrees today. It started raining in the late afternoon and it’s supposed to continue into tomorrow. They are expecting snow tonight and maybe tomorrow where we live in NY. We’re sorry to miss that, but our time will come soon.

Day 399 – Brrrr. It was 33 degrees at 6:30 a.m. this morning. The high today was only 49 degrees, but it was sunny and that helped. We’re getting closer to home, and winter temperatures are expected there. Looking forward to that first snowfall!
EASTON WATERFOWL FESTIVAL.
Day 398 – We were up and out before 9 a.m. this morning, because we wanted to get to the final day of the annual Easton Waterfowl Festival as they opened and before the crowds arrived. We succeeded and were even able to get a parking place about two blocks away rather than parking a long distance and taking a shuttle bus into town.

Day 397 – A beautiful day today, the storm lasted only about a day. The girls won. They gave us their most pitiful looks, they’re so mistreated after all. So after feeling bad for them, we decided to stay at the RV until 2 p.m., rather than rushing out in the morning to the Easton Waterfowl Festival as we’d planned. We ran a couple of errands, arriving at Gail’s house around 4 p.m.
Continue readingFEEL BETTER, LIZ!!!
Day 396 – Today was a long day. The rain from the storm had already begun when we left the campground and drove to Easton, 1-1/4 hours away. We picked Gail up around 11 a.m. and drove to Baltimore where Gail had an appointment. We stopped at a restaurant on Kent Island, The Narrows, and Gail treated us to a great lunch. More Crab – YUM!
