I finally made it back home this morning. What a long drive - 8 hours by myself in the middle of the night. I stopped for a nap for a couple of hours in the parking lot of a hotel - my credit card had a watch put on it as an identity theft precaution because it was being used in different countries so I didn’t have money to stay IN the hotel, but hey, it was a nice parking lot. Top notch.

I made it in at 8:00am with the “Check Engine” light on and nothing left but fumes - but I made it. A few hours for a nap and things have settled down. The kitties were so happy to see me!

I finally got to talk to my dad today, he’s doing okay and progressing well so I am very happy about that. I still wish I could be home now, but unfortunately that’s not going to happen. He sounded better than I expected, and I’m thinking maybe he did all this so he could get constant foot rubs from my mom. One will never know for sure.

I am just now sitting down at the computer to work on some pictures, and wow! What a difference a good monitor makes. The pictures are so much prettier on my computer at home than they were before! I’m excited to get working on them. Everyone should get their monitors calibrated, it really makes such a big difference.

Keep coming back in the next few days as I post pictures, and be sure to check my Flickr page often as well.
