We’ve had lots of rain. Our motor home is parked at the bottom of a hill and the water comes to us and puddles about 1-2 inches deep before moving on toward the nearby creek. On my first venture outside, I stepped into water over my shoe top. While wet feet are fun at the beach, they are uncomfortable in cold temperatures. After changing shoes, socks and drying my feet I was a little more careful my next trip outside.

Mike went back to Florida today so we drove in some very heavy rainstorms to get him to the airport. His plane left on time and he made it home without any problems. We are a little jealous of him because the temperature is in the mid eighties during the day there compared to upper forties and lower fifties here.

We plan to start our trip back to Florida on Tuesday morning. On the trip north, with Mike’s help driving, we made it in two days. We will return to our normal driving routine and take four or five days to go back. Hopefully we will have good driving conditions and no inclement weather on the way south.
