Back in the U.S.A.!

Tuesday morning found us up and around, anxious to get back on U.S. soil. It's been an eventful 3 weeks plus, but there's no place like home - even if it's not Oklahoma. Had no problem crossing back into the states; they didn't even check our trailer.

Stopped for lunch at a Cracker Barrel to help break the day. Hunter ordered up some 'homemade chicken & dumplings' but was very much disappointed with them. She announced that these were NOTHING like Grandma's - only two little pieces of chicken! Had to smile at that one. I'm afraid my chicken & dumplings is always a bit 'heavy' on the chicken and 'light' on the dumplings. All was not lost though, for she ordered a 'sundae' for dessert - which for her is 2 scoops of ice cream topped with whipped cream & a cherrie - no chocolate, no nuts! But even Grandpa and I had to help her finish that off (we didn't mind), although Grandpa had to grumble about ordering something and not eating it.

Arrived at the park about 2:00. Hunter was plumb worn out from her last two days at the Cardinal KOA - so she 'vegged out' in front of the TV while Roger and I made a much needed WalMart run. Then it was 'home' to do six loads of laundry that had been piling up, while Roger did a 30-day recheck here at this park. That took most of the evening and so we found ourselves having 'supper' at 9:00 p.m. I'm beginning to think that our days will never be 'normal' again!

Today (Wednesday, 7/19) will be our last big hurrah of Hunter's trip. Headed over to Niagara Falls, still combining business with pleasure as we stop to do a 30-day recheck at one of the parks, but most of the day will be spent at the falls.
