home :: sweet :: home

Well, we made it home, we drove non-stop because we were expecting lots of snow today and lots of snow we have.  We pulled into town yesterday mid-day and got some groceries just on the off chance the weather predicted was correct, and lo and behold it was.

Yesterday we got everything unload from the van, but I was too tired to do laundry so I'm doing that today.  This morning we went through the mail and I checked out my checking account and bills.  Being debt free sure makes it nicer after the vacation is over, we aren't reminded every month with bills of how wonderful a time we had :) 

I cleaned out my cupboards this morning of dishes that I either had too much of or never used.  I pulled out this cute soup cup that was tucked way in the back of one of my cupboards and the little blue bowl and saucer I just bought at the Goodwill store down in Galveston, it's going to work great for hot side dishes, such as the beans I cooked for lunch today.

We are kind of still in vacation mode and just doing odds and ends around the house, which I seem to never do or for that matter take the time to do.

We really had a wonderful time but there is nothing like being home, despite to snow we're getting today.

glad you made it back ahead of the storm! and that's a great indoor kind of day to get organized and back into 'home' stuff. :)

Nice to be home and it looks like you came home to lots of snow. You had a great time. Now back to reality: laundry. Enjoy.

Oh... I emailed you before I read your post:))... Glad you are happy to be home... It takes me awhile to enjoy being home when I get home...especially if the weather isn't good... Sounds like you were ambitious!!

Hi Judy..
So glad you got home safely AND before the snow storms. Pottering around the house is a nice way to wind down after the unpacking and laundry after your trip.Welcome home..
Have a good day

Oh gosh... the photo of that window made me go brrrrr..... seriously, that looks cold.

Very nice to have a vacation paid for. Who needs that hanging over their head.... No one! And I'll bet your soup is going to be delicious.

Wouldn't mind having a frosty window like that one today.

There really is nothing like being home. It's great visiting family but our home is where we feel the best :)

Glad you made it back safe and sound and now you can just relax, take things slowly and putter around in the warmth while that cold snow is outside :)

Glad you're back home safely Judy -- send some snow our way, we're feeling rather deprived this year!

[Rose]

I bet you are thrilled to be home...just no other place like it. Glad you are home safe and sound...sometimes we have to recover from vacations! We have had snow so hard that you couldn't see 100 yards ahead, followed quickly by sunshine. And it is bitter cold.

[Ramona]

It really sounds like you had a terrific time, but home is home and I know the feeling when you get back to it :-)
The snow blasted window looks amazing. Keep warm.

[Carver]

I'm the same way about enjoying getting home after a trip. I'm glad you had a good vacation.

We have a few years to go before we are totally debt free -- what a nice feeling it must be! Welcome home Judy!

It is always good to get home; however, that snowstorm wasn't so welcoming. Sure brought you right back to reality in a hurry after being in Galveston. The good thing about snow is that it is always so cozy inside. Cute soup bowls!

[Tricia]

we just don't get that much snow around here... i remember times when we did as a kid, tho. love the blue bowl & saucer =)
