Yes, sadly I have left Hawaii, the land of sun and sand and am once again at home in Colorado, the land of snow and dustbunnies. I had such a wonderful and relaxing visit with my parents and siblings. And guess what? Apart from a few unique characteristics for the most part we are very much alike. Can you imagine being stuck in a cabin for 8 days with 8 'Dornbraus'?
A lot of silly things happened and many pictures were taken. I'll share some once things get back to normal.
Normal... that's a funny way to describe the average daily routine around here. What was abnormal was walking into the house after returning from my little vacation away from the Oompas and Dickidoo and finding the place cleaner than it was when I left. Even the fridge was cleaned out. Wow! For a second I thought I was in the wrong house.
Until my sister Lisa who followed me home called out from the downstairs bathroom for some toilet paper. A quick inventory revealed the total absence of Charmin in the House of Loompa. Yep, I was in the right house.
Zack had to run next door to get a roll from a neighbor. By that time I decided I needed a soothing cup of coffee. I was already suspicious when I lifted a deceptively light canister of coffee. A tentative peek under the cover confirmed my darkest fears.
We were out of Folgers!
But there was no shortage of homecoming hugs.
Ahhhh, Home Sweet Home!

I so love reading your entries even though I don't always have time to drop you a line. I smiled widely when I saw your alert. Glad your back home again. You've been missed! And not just by your family! You obviously get your happy bubbly personality from your genes. Look at all those wonderful smiling faces looking out at me today as I sit here at my puter in the English Lakes. Spring is visiting us here now, but you brought the summer in this morning too. Welcome home again! Jeanie
