Home Sweet Home

We got a good night's sleep, woke up at 20 min to 8 am.  Got dressed and headed for the free breakfast.  Glad we took the time to go.  It was by the pool but the chlorine smell wasn't bad at all.  They had scrambled and boiled eggs, sausage patties, biscuits and gravy, french toast and all the cold cereal, bagels, English muffins and toast plus juice and coffee and milk.  We ate well and checked out with a 20% reduction in our bill because of a non working TV in the living area.  The one in the bedroom worked fine.
The trip thru Iowa into IL went well despite an 18 mile oops and we arrived home late lunch time.  Ron unloaded the car and I tried to put things away.  Got to change the system next time.  Leave everything downstairs at first and then bring stuff upstairs as it's determined that's where it goes.  Coats and dirty clothes got brought upstairs by mistake.  The cranberries didn't fare to well in the electric cooler and leaked all over everything underneath them (they were on top) but it was all glass jars except for the butter.  Any one like cranberry butter?
After the car was unloaded and put back in order we took out for Kohls and Ordmans.  Kohls had the duplicate coffee pot of the one in Tucson so that was quick and to the point.  Ordmans was closed.  Looked like there was "stuff" inside but it was dark and NO cars parked outside.  I gave in and said Jewel.  Didn't feel like dealing with Wal Mart or Aldi's.  Jewel worked out well, they had parsnips and ham that wasn't boneless or spiral cut.  When we went to check out the checker asked if we had the ham coupon.  I guess the glassy stare gave her the answer so she reached in a drawer and pulled one out.  $9.00 dollars off the ham.  Until today I had not set foot in Lockport Jewel in over two years, with Ordman's closed, maybe I will again.
It was a great time in Tucson and we miss everyone but are glad to be home and looking forward to November.
