Riverview Park, Bay Minette, AL

We arrived home around 6:30 on Wednesday and it was still quite cold and the temp was predicted to drop down to the mid twenties and even colder--low twenties--on Friday night. On Friday, we had some sleet and the temp leveled off around twenty five. Today, it is 30 and expected to level off at 40. The sky is clear and the warmth of the sun is welcoming. Gonna be a beautiful day.

Boomer seems happy to be home. He can run around the yard freely and not be constrained by a leash as he has to be in parks. He found his bed and jumped in to take a nap. Friday he slept a lot and today he is active and raring to get out the door.  He wants more attention than usual and we think that's because for three weeks in the lounge at Allegro, he was "Mr. Personality".  He had almost everyone coming to pet him and all knew his name.  We were Boomer's mom and dad!

The family was very happy to have us home. Mike turned on the water and set the furnace to 65 and met us when we arrived. He parked his truck in the driveway to block any vehicles from getting close to the motor home in the night. Keeps the "scum" away in the middle of the night. We enjoyed a pizza with Jacky Perkins at the River Pub the night we returned.

We also had a wonderful surprise today when Jennifer and Bobby Gorham  showed up. Bobby is a second cousin. I watched him grow from childhood. His mother and I were always close. My aunt helped raise me. Jennifer is recovering from having her big toe on her right foot removed due to a severe medical condition. She was able to walk a little with a walker. Bobby experiences spells similiar to epileptic seizures the prevent him from working. It's a severe safety hazard. Such a shame as he is a really accomplished diesel mechanic and qualified boat captain. He used to deliver equipment/stores/crews to the oil rigs in the Gulf of Mexico.
