The realities of homecoming!
... any gifts for the kids yet so a shopping expedition is getting higher and higher on the list.
And so it goes. But please don't read this entry as a complaint. We are so lucky to have our wonderful, comfortable home here. Yes, it demands upkeep and when we leave for an extended period of time is shouldn't come as a surprise to us that things need attention.
We are looking forward to the fast approaching holidays, but now need to take care of business!

Drove from Sarasota to the island-without getting lost or using the gps (they don't call it a sat nav)! Stopped at arrmands circle on the way, had a ...
Home for the Holidays!
Yes...we're finally back home. After seven months away, I feel a little like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, clicking my heels together and chanting "There's No Place Like Home!"
