We had a wonderful trip, but it was also good to get home. The afternoon we got in I went to the grocery store for basic food. For me basic means vegetables. I came home and fixed broccoli and sweet potatoes for dinner that first night. They were delicious - especially after so many days where lettuce was the only fresh vegetable in sight. I also fixed cod, rice and spicy pinto beans (for the As).

The grass did not take a vacation. I got a good physical workout Saturday morning mowing and weed eating.

Sunday was a day of rest - church in the morning; reading and catching up on correspondence and paperwork in the afternoon.

Today - school starts. At least for me it does. Teacher in service begins this morning. It was great to be back home, but I am NOT ready for school to start.

If you have sent me e-mail or comments, I will answer soon. I tried to keep up with blogging while I was away, but have not even looked at my mail yet! Forgive me and be patient.
