Home Sweet Home....Brrrrr

The Heron Clan


Driving home we actually drove through two small snow flurries.  Yikes!  This was ALL WRONG! What about all the rumours we had heard about the early spring??  We've been duped!

We arrived back in Canada on Jeff's birthday.  To complete our family fix we headed straight to Jeff's sister Dale's house and then out for wings and beer with his brother, Scott and partner Sheila.  It's great to reconnect with family.  Happy birthday to Jeffy!



Home to Our Northern Boat


Whaaaat??  Home sweet home??  We didn't expect to have to crawl over snow
to get to the boat or below freezing temperatures. It was a little tricky in my flip flops.
 No running water until it warms up a bit at night.  All good though, once we got inside and
turned the heat on we were as snug as two bugs in a rug.

Then the big moment....  Meeting first one grandaughter off the school bus...  Then the other.
We were delighted with the wonderful welcome banner they made us.







What About the Great Loop??

That pretty much concludes this chapter of our Great Loop Adventure.  We're distractible, we know. We're still hoping to finish our loop someday, somehow.  Until then, we're loving our cruising lifestyle.  We know dividing the year between living on two old boats is not for everyone, but it works for us. Rarely a day goes by that we don't comment on how lucky we are.  We're very blessed. The plan is to spend the summer working to build up our cruising kitty and carry on next winter, God willing.

Happy summer and thanks for following along on our adventures. Until next winter..... wishing you your own version of a Gran Vida (Great Life).
