The trip back to Luray was very stressful but we made it back safe. I needed a week to get over the drive. Traffic was bumper to bumper leaving Florida all the way up into Georgia. All the snowbirds leave the state on March 30. Never again. I will either leave 2 weeks early or 2 weeks later. At least we didn't blow a tire. Going up 95 and blowing a tire in the middle of nowhere is a real heart stopper. We've done it before on the trip to or from Florida but this time we were lucky. My dh had a lot of work done on the motorhome so it ran fine till we got to Fredericksburg Virginia. The Bounder coughed a few times till we figured out why. Many years ago we were traveling out west when the Bounder made the same noise. We found out the fuel pump had been recalled and till we could get it fixed we were advised by fellow Bounder Owners to keep the gas tank full as possible. It turns out the gas gets hot and affects the gas pump. Anyway we found a gas station and fill up the tank, it was only 1/2 empty, and we made it the rest of the way home with out incident. What a joy to unlock the door to the house and find everything just as we left it. In the yard the daffodils were up and in full bloom. Some purple tulips bloomed too. I caught the last of the Bradford pear trees and forsythia bushes in bloom. The worse part of the trip is unpacking but it was worth all the work to be home. The next day I woke up and opened my shade and was shocked to see snow covering everything. It was gone by evening. There is such a wonderful feeling of home when everything you own is in one place. I know where to reach for glasses, pots and pans, soap, books, all my craft supplies, Home is here. I am busy already working on new crafts. I will post them later with pictures and instructions. I am still trying to learn to knit. Thanks for all the comments.
