We Are Home

After 5 months away from home, we finally arrived back home, safe and semi-sound.  I gotta tell ya, the drive thru NJ was horrifying.  The more we got into the Northeast, the fast the traffic and the more crazy the drivers....But it is very good to be home.  Tucker was prancing there for a while...then he ran himself ragged, which didn't take too long, as he was not free to run for a very very long time.

Last night we spent the night in the Danbury Rest Area. They have an area for RV's.  We were up at 4:45 and on the road after dumping our tank, by 5:30.   Made it thru Hartford without too much rush hour traffic, and the same for Springfield, which we drive by at 7:00 a.m. 

Now, I shall sleep.  Thanks everyone for staying with us via the computer while we were far away from home.  We always appreciate it.  We have a few operations to get thru this summer, and then after our recuperation, we hope to hit Maine a few times in the Motorhome.

As I looked into my archives to find Florence RV Park, I was surprised that it had almost been one year since our last visit.
It was beautiful then, and it's beautiful now.  The link to last year's visit is located here.

And one year later, here are the pictures that I gathered this afternoon.

I love the colors of Springtime

Very peaceful here

Same ducks as last year

Fields of purple weeds that flowered

That went on and on

I thought this was an Azalea, but it was not

The Pond - beautiful.
