Back from vacation

It was SO nice to get away for a while. We had a fantastic time seeing family & friends, and can only complain that we didn't have long enough :) It's hard living so far away sometimes. As Marc mentioned, we really took some pics:

Now that we're home, it seems there is so much to do.

Also as was mentioned - the cats did great (as usual) on this trip. Fantastic in the car, and pretty much were right at home once we got in the house. We're lucky they make this so easy one us.

It didn't rain at all while we were gone, so when we got back there was little difference in the lawn length (nice for us). All in all it's been at least 3 weeks I think since we've had rain, so last night when it started, we were pretty happy. It is still going.

Amazingly, my plants on the porch were NOT destroyed while away (the squirrels did destroy my peppers while we were still around).

Here's a pic from Frankenmuth. One of the few side view pics that I could find.




I'm at a good size right now - actually, after seeing myself in a full length mirror (we don't have one at home), I'm a little scared to imagine how much bigger I'm going to get :) I'm sure it will be fine - it just takes a little getting used to.
