Home at Last

Although I am not too sure if that is a good thing. Usual lousy spring weather and $5.60 a gallon for premium gasoline ($4.78 for an equivalent US gallon). And who says we are not getting ripped off by the oil companies? Their 1st quarter net profits of over $400 million make me want to puke. Gas prices in the US are around $3.44 US gallon for premium so it is still a $1.34 cheaper per US gallon States side.

It is nice to be back, just to see the kids and granddaughter.

The trip home was uneventful and the weather held for the whole trip. Made good time.....seventeen hours from Savannah to the front door.

Lots of stuff to catch up on. The yard work this spring is going to be a major chore. Winter played havoc on our bushes at the side of the house and they will all have to be removed. They have been in there for twenty years so there will probably be some resistance yanking them out of the ground. Frost did a good job on our deck so that will have to be re-leveled once it has settled back down. Sitting in Florida, I had made a decision to really get some work done out back this spring. Looking at it now, it seems like an overwhelming task and I may just re-think the whole affair. Think I will go and lie down until the feeling goes away.
