Back at Home



Back from the beach already. Time flies when you are busy sleeping in, slathering sunscreen, playing cards and...oh, sorry, you probably wish you had been at the beach, too.

Actually, I am making it sound far more relaxing than it really was...for me at least. My kids, yeah, they had it made! But that's what family vacations are all about - kids having a blast until they pass out at night and grown ups working just as hard as any day back at home only with moments of vacation fabulousness.

Like the sunsets. Like sitting in the sand watching kids run in and out of the surf in the dark with sparklers. Like listening to their squeals and laughter as a wave is splashier than expected. Like floating on a tube in the Gulf of Mexico, even if it's just for 30 minutes. Like finding a totally intact sand dollar on the beach at dusk.

That's fabulous stuff. Or fabulousness.

But it's always good to be back home. Appointments, activities, errands, "problems"...are all right here where we left them. And maybe tomorrow we will take care of some of them.

I've got sunset over the ocean envy. Sounds like you had a great time.

Sounds like your back in the groove of things pretty quickly.

Sonflower - It was great getting out of town but, yes, we are back in the swing of things now. BTW, how are you enjoying your blog? :-)
