Monday November 11
By 5:30am we
were moving once again, on our final leg of this 3 week journey. Even though breakfast was included with our
room, we decided to just hit the road early, before the Continental breakfast
was open for business.
Before we
hopped onto the highway we stopped at a Basha's Supermarket. We purchased a
little something to munch on as well as a couple of Starbuck's coffees. We were
now ready for the final leg of our journey.
We continued
along the 210 towards San Bernardino. Eventually we veered onto the California
57 highway for a few miles before landing on the Interstate 10, the road that
would take us the rest of the way home.
Just before
we arrived at Blythe on the California Arizona border we got a call from
Judith. We were kind of expecting her call. She confirmed two things; 1) we
were the only people bidding on the Jacksonville house and 2) they rejected our
lowball offer. That was no surprise to either of us. They did have a counter
offer and although it was a week one, we accepted. This house was a great value
for the price and it did make Kerry smile thinking about it being her new home.
With their offer accepted, we were now in contract on the house. I guess we are
moving to Oregon.
The rest of
the drive home was uneventful. We passed Phoenix, then Casa Grande and finally
Picacho Peak before taking the Ina Road exit off of highway 10. We were finally
back in the Ole Pueblo, home sweet home.
Once we
unloaded. and literally threw all of our travel clothes into the laundry, we
made short work of putting everything away. Rosie was glad to be at home. She
sniffed around, making sure her world was unchanged from how she left it. All
was good.
Tonight we
get to sleep in our own bed, no RV's or motel rooms. It was wonderful. Like Dorothy
said, "There's no place like home!"
