Home, But Not Alone

We left Apache Junction on Saturday the 16th with temperatures forecast for the mid 90's. We arrived home on Thursday the 21st with temperatures in the low 50's! Saturday was fairly nice with the daytime high hitting the mid 60's. So far, this was the warmest day of the year. Today was so cold when I was up on the roof cleaning the roof drains that it felt like I should be putting up the Christmas lights. The forecast does have the temperatures back in the low 60's over the weekend just in time for our company (Ron & Diane) from Tulsa.
We had a good trip back home. We stopped in Cotati, Ca. to visit with relatives there for a day. From there we went to Crescent City and stayed overnight on the edge of Redwood National Park. Then it was on up into Oregon where we spent the night just south of Tillamook. From there it was about a 5 - 6 hour drive home.
On Friday the motorhome went back to the dealership to get the issues that we discovered repaired under warranty. We have no idea how long they will need to get everything fixed, but we're not going anywhere for a while.
On Saturday we went up to Keith and Sheilas to visit, and pick up Hairold T. Cat.
Hairold got back into his regular routine as soon as he got out of the cat carrier. He's about a pound or so up from his normal weight, as he spent his entire visit indoors. After his 6 week outdoor adventure last year he probably thought inside was a better idea!
The house seems to have survived without us quite well. Another day or two and all should be back to normal. We're looking forward to our company, and just hope that the weather cooperates. We will have indoor and outdoor options on our to do list.
Apparently we left the camera accessories in the motorhome, so we can't download picture for the blog. When we pick the coach up from the dealer, we'll get some pictures up. Ernie
