MADE IT BACK TO CANTON, OHIO SAFE AND SOUND

Saturday, March 14 - We arrived in Canton, Ohio, on Friday, before noon. We had an uneventful drive across the state from our last stop in Cincinnati. Interesting that we drove diagonally across Ohio in less than 4 hours. It takes four long driving days to cross Texas....YIKES!

More of Paul’s carvings while we were in Houston.

We spent some time getting the 5th wheel backed into it's spot. It's not exactly how Paul wants it, but it will do for awhile. He has work he wants to accomplish on the RV this summer so he'll be moving it in the near future anyway.

We spent the afternoon unloading some necessities, like clothes, from the trailer. Our daughter, Kelly, came over after work to help.

Paul also winterized the 5th wheel, just to be safe. If we were living in it, he didn't feel it would have been necessary. Since we are not heating it and it isn't that big of a job, he blew-out the water lines and pumped some anti-freeze in to keep the lines from freezing.

Turned out to be good that Paul spent the time winterizing the RV. It was covered with SNOW Saturday night. We got about two inches of the white stuff. Nice way to welcome us to Ohio.....LOL

We'll survive! We realized we were arriving a little early. We just wanted to get here and parked before any bad weather hit. It's suppose to warm up into the 60's by the first of the week. April can be an “iffy” month in Ohio. Nice days followed by cold or rain. Hopefully this is the last snow we'll have to endure!

Now that we are here, Marsha will spend hours with Kelly working on the wedding. Paul will get started remodeling the kitchen. Wonder which one will be more fun?

Bella has found one of the hottest spots in the house.

Thanks for stopping by. Hope to see y’all back real soon. Have a great day!

  5. That is a great picture of Bella. She is just too funny. I would be down there with her in that cold. Wedding planning or remodeling??? I almost think the remodeling might be easier.

  7. Remodeling will be harder and wedding planning will be much more fun! Enjoy both, you two.

  9. Glad you arrived home safely!!! I am sure you didn't need that snowy welcome though!!
    We also have a house now and want to do some extended travel...do you have someone to look after it while you are away?? Just wondering! I worry about leaving for several months and the house sitting empty. Just wondering how you (or others) work this out??

  10. Know what you mean by wanting to just get on home before any storms catch you. Like Paul's carvings. I know I wouldn't care much for having to remodel a kitchen but for sure I know I would not like having to plan a wedding..

  12. Glad to hear you got back safely. I have to admit I would not want to be back in OH right now but there is wedding planning to get on with!

    Love your carvings Paul, particularly the guy in the yellow rain gear.

  13. Great looking wood carvings, Paul. What a welcome home....snow! At least the grass didn't need cutting!

    Wedding planning and prep is high on the agenda with our family too. Luckily for me, I don't get asked much about that.

  14. I am way behind of blog reading so it seemed pretty surprising to see you back in Ohio already!

    Sending a belated happy birthday to Paul. What talent he has with the carving. Maybe he can do a bride and groom for the wedding cake!

    Wedding planning and kitchen remodeling both sound exciting to me.

  16. Yikes, looks like you headed north just a wee too soon. Glad it was a safe and uneventful trip. Marsha, I know you're going to have way too much fun this summer with all that wedding planning.....I know I would :-)

  17. Good to be safely home. Not so good to have it snow. Although, I have learned this winter that snow does help clean the outside of the rig. :)

  19. Well good grief. ..welcome home indeed! Looks like that Bella's a smart one.

    Here's hoping the weather has cleared up by now, and you're finding everything just as you left it. . .enjoy that wedding planning!
