Welcome Home!

Pictures from the trip home... We actually saw some wildlife on the way home because the temperature was finally above zero. Coming over the mountains, the truck had several inches of ice which took two days to melt, even after a car wash.



We are home and loving it! I personally cannot stop organizing, rearranging and just plain "nesting". It feels so good to be in my own home. I planted my pots outside and it feels like spring.

Thank you to Andrea and Shelly for cleaning our house, putting fresh flowers out, and the welcome home message on the garage door. Thanks, Megan, for the great picture you drew.

Thank you to Kara and Justin for taking such good care of our house. It didn't even look like anyone had ever left (just ask one of my neighbors!)

We had a good trip coming home. We stopped to see Lee's sister and brother-in-law in Okanogan, Wash., and played cards for 3 days. A couple of days she and I didn't even get out of our pajamas until noon! Oh did it feel good to rest! On a sad note, Lee's sister-in-law had a heart attack and was in intensive care in Spokane, so we went to see her and Lee's brother. She is doing better and we were so glad we got to have a short visit with them.

Thanks to Michael (owns the Liberty Tax offices) for giving us this great experience, for the wonderful remembrance of Alaska you gave us at the dinner, and for the appreciation you constantly showed us.

We are looking forward to a summer of time with family and camping. My nephew is getting married and my granddaughter is graduating from high school! Where does the time go?
