We're Home!

Well, it's now Monday morning. The girls last day of spring break. We made it home about 6:00 p.m. Saturday night. I left with 2 girls and 2 pups, and came home with the same numbers. That's all I cared about!

Somehow, coming home, we wound up in Gary, Indiana and had to get through the stop and go traffic in Chicago. We didn't go through Chicago on the way out, so I'm still puzzled how we ended up there...

I just read Sophi's comments from the last blog post. First of all, I'd just like to say that I never scream at my children, I just assertively coax them along! And I don't think I was in the pottery store quite that long.

Wow, after watching the news on Sunday, I am so thankful that we didn't have any accidents going through Tennessee. My sympathies go out to all the people there who suffered loss. I would say we were about 10-15 minutes behind the tornadoes. I've always said, "Timing is everything in life."

Yesterday we celebrated Easter with our traditonal lamb dinner. Accompanying the dinner was: mint jelly from the Boone Hall Plantation, SC; peach cider from Abbott Farms, SC; peach bread from Abbott Farms, SC; fresh pecans from NC; and, of course, a homemade key lime pie brought all the way home from Edisto Island, SC. Needless to say, it was a delicious easter dinner.

We are happy to be home with daddy/Hugh and Digger. The puppies are back to their old routines. We hope our neighbors enjoyed the reprieve we gave them!

So, in signing off, thank you for following us on our trip. We had a fabulous time and would definitely do it again. Traveling with no plans or deadlines is possible and has many advantages.

To my girls: you are my love, you are my life, I had a great time with you. I hope you always have good memories of our time together. Love from your mamma.

Bye y'all...
