HOME AGAIN , HOME AGAIN !

After 15 nights of camping , fishing , sunning and getting rained on , we are home again after a much needed holiday ! Of course the weatherman was very fickle and we got rain ( not predicted when we left here with + 30 weather ) . At 5 am the 4th morning we are outside trying to wrestle our awning down in the rain and wind . After losing an awning last year to too much rain , we do not tempt Mother Nature ! Fortunately the winds only lasted part of the day and by noon it was out again - with a good slope on it so the rain could run off it - the joy the the motor home allows for with the height difference as upposed to the trailer . Never got one puddle of rain water on it in all the time it rained ! Thank heavens for the awning just so we could sit under in during a few cloud bursts ! Fortunately a little nasty weather doesn't dampen our camping - yeah we really roughed it this year in the motorhome ! Even watched 2 movies on the nights it was pouring out ! Now that is unheard of for us - we must be getting old ! LOL ! The only trouble with the MH was we were pretty well stuck where we were for the 2 weeks as it is a prize pain to go anywhere - everything has to be moved out from under the MH , the awning has to go back up , the slideout has to be brought in and everything that is on the counters has to be put away .... NO , we just stayed where we were ! Did pretty good in the grocery department - though we did start craving some fresh veggies ( see I told you we are getting old ! ) but fortunately the campground has the greatest little cafe with it and we managed a few ( okay a LOT ! ) of meals at it ! Hey , I was on holidays too ! Fresh homemade soup and pies , great cobb salad and french fries to die for !!!
And the fishing was excellent although we practise catch and release so only kept 3 rainbow trout to eat for supper one evening ! And I caught the biggest fish I have ever caught ! A 2-2.5 lb rainbow trout caught on a sinking line with a wet fly on a fly rod ! Great fun - but the camera was on the table of the MH so I have no proof although DH had to take it off the hook for me ! I ain't touching those slimy , wiggly things ! We even had a bald eagle come right down to the water beside the boat to grab a fish that DH had put back in - and yes the camera was in the MH !
Youngest DS showed up Thursday morning for a couple of days of tenting andto go fishing - so he entertained DH while I suffered through a " bad bug " that DH had for a few days previous ! Then we had friends show up yesterday afternoon to camp with us but DH ( & I ) had made up our minds to come home today .They stayed out there today . For some strange reason even when you are on holidays , it seems the the laundry just keeps piling up ! Tomorrow is a holiday here so DH wouldn't be at work but will be giving the MH a much need scrubbing on the outside and I will be doing laundry ........................................Welcome HOME !
