Home Again Home Again Jiggity Jig

The last three weeks have been nothing but fun. I have gotten to see so many wonderful friends and have been going, going, going. I wouldn’t change any of it. Everyone was so generous and welcoming. I had fabulous meals, lots of laughs, great games and heart felt conversations. But after three weeks I was definitely Randy’s to go home. Be with a Russ and sweet Shay and sleep in my own bed and veg out.
I woke up at 5:45 At Karen’s in Providence and knew that I had to get on the road as fast as possible. It was Going to be a long twelve hour drive. Karen was so sweet to get up and see me off, but it was a good thing I went then because the traffic getting through Connecticut and New York was not so bad that early in the morning. Then I hit New Jersey and it got a little worried about getting home.
I listened to my book on tape, NPR, pod casts. I talked on the phone many times to Russ. I had a good thirty minutes with Carter on the phone. It all kept me going to push on me get home.  
At last I got here me came in the house and Shay went crazy shaking and jumping up on me like she usually does when Russ comes home. I got the full on love treatment from her for twenty minutes and I realized this was the longest I had ever been away from her.  
I am fully exhausted, but thrilled to be in my own bed with my sweet dog and my sweeter husband. Trips are great, but as Dorothy says, “There is no place like home.”
