Merriness in Merrimac!

Holy moly!  We did it.  In the beginning of the journey, the miles seemed to stretch so far ahead of us...I didn't even want to calculate the hours it was going to take.  Little by little we crossed the divide between "us and them".  Our first night was in Marshal, TX.  Second night in a state park in Tennessee.  Third night in an old school park in Kentucky.  Fourth night in an RV park that was like its own little town in Ohio, and then the BIG PUSH to the end of the driveway in Merrimac!  Yesterday was a bit of a blur.  We only had a few hours of sleep due to the fact that we rolled in at around 1 am.  Scott got to work immediately. Mowing the lawn, trimming trees, and putting up a gate that my mom wants in her garden.  Did I mention he also cooked dinner for everyone last night? (Super-Star!)  My dad is doing awesome.  He is walking all around, talking fine and eating meals.  What a relief!
Scott has scheduled a tune up for the trailer for a week from this Thursday.  We are going to get "Rolling Thunder" in mint condition before we hit the road again.  My sister and Ellie are headed up to Merrimac from Plymouth tomorrow.  We will get to meet their new dog Magoo.  Ellie will be sleeping over, and will be our first over-night guest in the trailer!  We are looking forward to reunions with so many friends and family in New England.  I am so grateful that my dad went through all of this just to get us back north! All joking aside though...I am tremendously relieved that he is doing so well, and feel in my heart that much of that healing was due to all the positive thinking from friends and family, and the many prayers said for his recovery.

Entrance to our last campground in Ohio.

Like our "old-school" GPS?

Yikes!  We caught the tail edge of this.

New York.

Ahhh...  Fiona feels right at home in Gammy and Gampy's front yard.

Time to get to work boys!

Fiona immediately built a fort with tree trimmings.

The kids helped Scott get some posts for the new gate.

Best slip and slide ever!

Hose water, dish soap, and winter sleds!

The gate going up.  My uncle Ken carved it.

Mom's beautiful garden.

Not a bad place to call home for a while!
