Camping Trip, Day 6

Monday, Nov. 8:

Up around 7 a.m. to pack it in and head for home. The morning was cool, as it has been every morning of the trip, but quickly warmed up as the day wore on.

We were on the road by around 9 a.m. The trip was uneventful, and we arrived back home around 2 p.m. There must have been another automobile mishap in front of our house while we were gone, because there was a lot of shattered glass along the shoulder of the road near our yard. I checked the police logs later, but found nothing to indicate what happened.

Spent the rest of the afternoon unloading the camper, doing laundry, catching up on phone messages and e-mails, reading the week's newspapers, and programming the DVR for upcoming shows and movies.

As soon as we could, we went to the vet's office to pick up the three kittens. They were very glad to see us, and when we got back home, they scampered through the house visiting all their favorite spots.

Once we'd picked up the kittens, we dropped by the WDCS to get a rotisserie chicken for supper and a few other grocery items. Unfortunately, it would be an hour and half before the chickens were ready. So we went to a grocery store and got one.

We had the chicken with baked sweet potatoes and coleslaw. I wasn't fond of the garlic/herb chicken, which was tough and too heavily spiced with an unpleasant tasting herb. Mother and Hubbie didn't mind it, but I just didn't like it.

While we ate, Hubbie and I watched our favorite college football team play to a win. The game had been played on Saturday, but I recorded it on DVR. Since we were in another state on Saturday, we didn't hear the score, so it was all new to us.

Mother went home after supper, and later, after the game, Hubbie and I watched an episode of "Dancing With the Stars."

After that, we welcomed bedtime.
