After breakfast, Hubby stripped out all the broken pipes and headed out to find replacements, while I got busy cleaning and airing out the house. By end of day, we had running water, the house was mostly cleaned up, TV was moved and hooked up, the water bed was warm enough, with a sleeping back under the clean sheets, so we officially moved back into the house. A couple of major problems we need to solve during our stay here, hoping the Honey Do list doesn’t get too long while we’re here!

Friday, May 13, 2016 – Travel Day Home
Got up early, finished packing up, ran out to the rv dump at the regular campground, and was out of the campground before 9:00. Stopped to pick up breakfast, stopped once for fuel just before arriving home, had to combat some kind of running race that followed about 10 miles of our route up Hwy. 41 up the mountain, which slowed us down, but still made it home, with the time change, by about 2:30. Discovered we had no electricity, and the water pipes in the well house were split, so we had our work cut out for us. The electric company managed to arrive in short order, and he found a fuse that had broken, so we were up and running before 4:30. Too late to get the water going, but Hubby, having an astute premonition, had put water in the RV fresh water tank before leaving, something we rarely do as it adds weight to the vehicle, but we learned long ago to listen to that little voice in the back of our heads, it’s hardly ever wrong, so we were fine for the night. Hadn’t planned on moving in today anyway, always need to heat up the water bed for 24 hours before we can sleep on it, so we always stay in the RV the first night home anyway. Put the portable fence up so the horses could graze the overgrown grass (our landscape guy retired, so we need to find another one), did a little cleaning, but couldn’t do much until we get running water, which should be tomorrow.
Thursday, May 12, 2016 – Work with Client
After spending the morning putting things away in anticipation of our departure tomorrow, the afternoon working with a client in Augusta, a quick trip to Tractor Supply and Walmart to pick up everything we’re going to need for a while after we get home tomorrow, we once again settled down for the evening.
Wednesday, May 11, 2016 – Another (and Last) Ride at AH Stephens State Park
Tuesday, May 10, 2016 – Another Fabulous Ride at AH Stephens State Park
Saturday, May 7, 2016 – Another Computer/Rest Day
Mostly vacation planning today. The campground was busy because apparently there is a local stable or concessionaire that hauls horses in and then takes groups out on rides through the park. Today’s group all had fancy hats, no doubt due to it being Derby Day, but they had once accident where a girl was thrown or fell off, and the paramedics had to come in and look after her. Heard later from one of the rangers that she had broken a hip and would require surgery. Hope the owners have a good Waiver of Liability signed! In any event, with all the traffic on the trails, we elected to stay home, even though the weather has been perfect, 70’s in the day, upper 40’s at night, great sleeping weather! Supposed to get a lot hotter tomorrow, but we’re still planning on riding, expecting that it will be cooler in the shade of the woods. Watched the Derby and otherwise had a more relaxed evening.
Friday, May 6, 2016 – Computer Day
Spent most of the day working on various things on the computer, and otherwise taking a rest day.
