HOME SWEET HOME

At last we have arrived back to our humble abode. We spent a few nights in Kelowna visiting with my family. We were so busy there visiting with various people that the time was gone before we knew it. Then we moved on to Kamloops and began a whirlwind of activity there. We left Kamloops Thursday morning planning on taking 3 days to make the trip home. While we were in the truck we started talking about how much we just wanted to get home. The next thing we knew we had made the decision to tackle the distance in just 2 days. So we fortified ourselves with food every so often and undertook the drive to Fort Nelson on the first day = a mere 15 hours to drive 1400 km. We stopped at a fantastic Super8 Motel there and dropped into bed. Then yesterday we only had to tackle about 900 km. We took time to stop at the Liard Hotsprings for a quick soak and made it home just before 8:30 pm. We haven't even unpacked yet. We just took out the stuff we needed and left the rest for today. It was great to sleep in my own bed last night. Best sleep I've had in 2 months. Everything was good with the house except the weeds have grown at least 2 feet while we have been gone. That is something we will definitely have to tackle soon, but I think today we will empty the truck and just take it easy.
