"Lucy....I'm Home" .....ahh that familiar chant from Ricky Ricardo as he burst through the door and made his grand entrance. Well this ain't the 60's and we ain't in Hollywood. This is HOLLY HILL and I'M HOME !!!!!
I made the 1244 mile drive in 22 hours this year and the trip was uneventful, even traffic through the first 7 northern states cooperated. Of course I left at 5am so CT,NY,NJ,WASH,& BALT were all "cakewalks". I drove 16 straight hours on day 1 ( Monday Jan 3) all the way to Florence SC... got a room at the Motel 6, had pork chops at Cracker Barrel and turned in for the night by 10. Back in the road at 6am got me into Daytona around 2 pm on Tuesday.
I'm travelling alone this year and my wife Karen and best friend Tony are flying into Orlando on Friday at 5pm where I will pick them up. Tony is planning on staying with us for the duration so I made the drive with both our dog "Sedona" and his 95lb American Bulldog "Babe". To say the least, the drive was quite an experience but we are "all" here and settled in.
9 months away has found the house needing a few plumbing repairs but after a $20 trip to Lowes, I've got all the faucets and toilet(s) to stop leaking. The extreme cold that's been here so far this winter has taken it's toll on all the fruit trees in my yard. Oh well, time to regroup and plant some new ones.
Well we're here til mid-march so let the fun begin. I've got 2 days of intense unpacking and de-summerizing the house before wifey arrives so I've gotta get going. Follow along all winter and enjoy our fun along with us. I'll try to make my posts both appetizing and fun.. and you know I can do both. Until next time... Woot Woot .. double fist pump. "Holly... I'm home" !!!!
