I would have dragged them home too if I could have squeezed them in my suitcase. I guess Amazon will be dropping packages on my doorstep! Barb and I (or substitute Donnie or Bertie) always add up to a whole lot more than two! But then you and your sisters do too! Have a good one, my friend!

Once the wheels of my plane lifted off the runway in Victoria yesterday, my sadness at leaving dropped away, and it was all about the excitement of getting home! Home is wonderful! I've been dancing around since our taxi pulled into the driveway about midnight last night. And I'm home for a good chunk of time, so now I can knuckle down!

I have since discovered that if you have to dig into your suitcase for something you unexpectedly needed, it's so to find and replace things when everything is tightly rolled and bound with elastics. I didn't have to sit on my suitcase to close it! Yay!
