A Welcome Home!

We are feeling a little weary today after our trip, getting our heads wrapped around having some responsibility again, checking the park to see what needs to be done right away as the campground is completely booked for the weekend, some campers arriving Thursday. The Onoway Fish and Game members Ron Johnson, Norm and Josie had everything ready for us to hook up the rig, new pressure tank, water lines ready (remember it froze up last fall before we left) and of course power on, they look after us so well. We had let them know earlier that we would be arriving today and called them while on the road yesterday to advise them that we would be arriving last night so they were aware in case someone reported a camper in the park! A nice day today, sunny and around 17C (63F) with some wind, the dogs are very happy to be back, they ran and chased each other in the open grassy field until their tongues were hanging out, it was so much fun to watch them. Tired puppies are good puppies and they slept for a long time after that! Woody has to get the two tractors, they are stored at the Gun Range in a Sea Can, get the power washer going to clean up the toilets, mow grass, at least some of it needs cutting, get our Star Choice dish hooked up and our Internet Hughes dish set up and I need to clean up the Rolling Castle, travelling is a dirty business, everything is dusty and dirty, plus put out the nick knacks that we store while travelling, untie items that we keep tied down while travelling and set up my little office. I do clean up our little house along the way, but the dust gets in while on the road as well as the dogs track a lot of dirt in every day! Along about 3:30 PM or so daughter Michelle and her daughter Caitlin arrive to welcome us home, Michelle works at the school in Onoway about 5 miles from the campground, what a wonderful surprise! She had run home to pick up Oreo and told us Chris (husband) was coming later with pizza for supper if that was alright with us, we were thrilled with the plan, it was awesome to see, hug and chat with them, we could not have been more pleased! Their son Christopher arrived a little later with his new girlfriend Katie, what an awesome welcome home! What a feeling, hugging, chatting and seeing some of our kids, just cannot describe the happy warm fuzzy feelings we experienced today! Needless to say we put our work aside and enjoyed our visit. Woody had to leave a little early to attend an Onoway Fish and Game club meeting at 7:00 pm to catch up on all the news.
