Home Again

We just got back from a nine-day trip, most of it without Internet access. We visited my parents and all our kids and celebrated son Allen's 30th birthday. What a whirlwind!

Stay tuned for stories and photos from our adventures, which include releasing Boris the Hairy Brown Tarantula back to the wild. You know, heart-wrenching stuff like that.

But first, there's laundry to do and the seemingly endless chore of unpacking much-needed supplies from the city, followed by the nearly impossible task of finding places to put everything. What were we thinking? Looks like it may be time to plan an unloading trip to the monthly flea market ... (which usually results in finding at least one more 'treasure' we just can't live without--eek!).

It was so good to get to visit our loved ones, and it's good to be home safe and relatively sound!
