5:33 p.m. - Today's drive from Sioux Falls to home was a long one, but the camper is parked by the house in its spot and most of the important stuff has been unloaded. Apparently we will have dogs and grandchildren here tonight...I don't know how long I will last...I'm really tired. I will try to describe the highlights of the trip more in depth later, but for now I'm feeling really blessed that we had no major truck or camper problems that disrupted the trip too much. We had a clogged toilet drain, but we worked through that, and we discovered some water damage on the inside of the camper that will need to be addressed soon. To be honest, I don't know how long that water damage has been there. It's possible we purchased the camper with the damage, and I didn't notice it. I'm also feeling very blessed that the weather really cooperated. Mother Nature was very good to us. We had a couple of days with winds, but there were no storms. The heat here today is more uncomfortable than the same temps or hotter we experienced there - so much humidity accompanies the hot temps here. Finally, winning a hand pay jackpot at the casino for over $1,000 was a huge blessing. That eased the financial picture a bit because the high gas prices and the repair work that was completed on the truck prior to the trip really took a bite out of my budget. The dogs are here...I'll talk more about the trip later.
