Back home to Chippewa! Yay! trip home went pretty well. we stayed at a few new places and enjoyed them. took a different route thru alabama in order to meet up with breanna, tj and kolsyn near Huntsville alabama. one incidence of dropping the camper onto the truck bed that was totally my fault. fortunately no real damage to truck or camper. scary tho.  we luckily avoided most of the bad weather coming home. lots of bad weather coming thru the country on a weekly basis but except for some bad wind one day which caused us to stay an additional day in DuQuion Ill . no big deal tho. things looked good in the big camper except for some shredded paper in the silverware drawer. hummmm. no leaks and everything hooked up well. took a full day to empty  sydney out and put everything away in the beast. another to clean up sydney. now onto getting everything set up around the yard, garden and of course the cleaning of the bathrooms. still on duty for that. oh well, keeps me busy. had a kentucky derby pot luck on saturday here at the campground so it was good to see everyone and catch up on the winter.  saw mom, cindi , joel and karen over the weekend.
