We finished our trip on Saturday afternoon. There was an excitement as we drove
the final corner onto our street and then into our driveway. We were home! Even
Tag recognized that we were somewhere familiar. He stood up in the back seat so
he could see out the windows, and was bouncing around by the time we stopped.
(I've always wondered just how our dogs know when we're getting close to home.)
We spent the rest of Saturday afternoon and Sunday emptying out what I refer
to as "trip specific" items from the Flying Cloud. By mid-afternoon Sunday, the
cabinets were tidy and the floors were all washed. Everything is back in order,
awaiting our next adventure. If the rain stops, we'll wash the outside today and
park her in her stall near the back of our property. She has her own little spot!
The camper "parking place" is perfect for sitting and reading a book or sipping
a cup of tea as we plan our next outing. Tucked in the trees, it feels like its own
quiet, little getaway. (No Calgon needed! lol) Tag enjoys the Cloud so much that
we actually had to bribe him ("Let's go swimming!") to get him to leave the
camper. I'm sure he'll join me in "his" spot whenever we spend more time there.
My studio, on the other hand, is a lot less ready for me to spend any time there
yet. I have boxes and bags all over right now from the trip. It's hard for me
to believe that I actually took all this goodness along with me. Oh, wait. There was
that trip to the Fox River Valley quilt shops with my quilting girlfriend, Kathy...
We're all glad to be back home together. I'll see my girlfriends at Paneras on
Tuesday and a guild Board meeting on Wednesday. I'm going to get to my tasks
now. The sooner I finish my "Must Do" list, the quicker I can get to my "Fun
To Do" list. I have a lot of incentive, don't you agree? No time to waste!
Have a great Monday (and week), my friends.
I hope you find time for something you love to do, too.
Home is always the best place to be...no matter what. Lots to unpack...but fun stuff...YAY! Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteTraveling is wonderful however there is something so comforting about being home. My Grandma loved to sit in her little Shasta trailer and have lunch or play cards or just "get-away". You will be busy in your new studio with sew many goodies to incorporate. Blissful Summer Swimming Season...
