Home Sweet Home

I'm BACK!!! Yes, indeed. And the part of Georgia I visited did NOT have any flooding. Just heat and humidity. We got rained on a bit in the first part of the visit but after that, just one evening of rain (we were BBQing). Isn't it amazing that one part of the state can be a declared emergency zone and another just an hour away, has no troubles? Austell was the first place G and I lived when we moved to Georgia in the 60's and where we lived when Sam was born. It was flooded to the roof tops while I was on vacation.

I had a ripe and oh, so, juicy, Georgia peach every morning.

I had Grandmother Cobb's Vegetable Soup with skillet baked cornbread.

I had birthday cake. Several times.

I watched the soaps, with dinner on a tv tray, most evenings. They are switching babies and donating hearts on the one soap and adopting children without a DNA test on the other. It helped to have a delicious, icy Tom Collins before dinner. (:-))

Both my departures and arrivals were smooth and on time. My checked baggage was fresh roasted coffee beans on the way out and Publix creamer and candy (for G) on the way home.

I wish I could have slept late this morning, but I had to go to work. So tired. And it was so cold this morning. I have to work tomorrow also and my boss offhanded mentioned I was teaching the bulb class tomorrow. Can you imagine how exciting that was? NOT.

Riley and I picked raspberries out in the garden after work today. I picked high and he nibbled low.

The fence posts around the garden have rotted and are falling down, pulling the fencing down over the raspberry canes. The garden paths between raised beds are full of weeds. The beds are full of rotting and dry "stuff". I think maybe we are "too busy" to take good care of the garden and perhaps we should take it all down and just let grass grow back. It is just a mess.

I've got meatloaf in the oven and potatoes ready to boil and mash. Supper. And then West Wing to watch and some TiVo'd stuff. We'll be sound asleep by 9:30.

It's good to be home and sleeping in my own bed. Very good. I missed all of you!!!!
