Eastbound: Our 2006 Adventure

DAY 39: HOME SWEET...

This is a long and funny story, but for now I'm just going to do a new post to let everyone know that I AM home! Got in at 10:30 last night, Friday night that is. It was amazing. Though dark, Denver looked vaguely familiar, Morrison looked pretty strange, and the house was quite unfamiliar. Memo: 5.5 weeks may be a little too long. The disconnect was almost complete.

The dogs got the idea ("mom's home!") right away, some of the cats were a little more standoffish at first. Now, though, things are gradually getting back to what used to be normal. Hadi sure looked good!!

With just two notable exceptions, all the plants and critters are alive and well and looking quite robust! Hadi and Karen, his mom, clearly took good care of things in my extended absence. He said last night that "there sure is a lot to do around here!" Not bad for someone who kinda used to think I wasn't helping much... nothing like a long absence to make you appreciate each other.

Rest of the story coming soon... along with those long promised photos, now that I'm back where easy uploads are possible, and I have lots of time...
