The picture on the blog today is me in my bubble/jet bath finally! Check out the hair! I was like a kid in the tub: I wanted to make my hair stand up and I didn’t want to get out of the tub! It was so wonderful.
Last night when we went to bed it was so nice to be in our own bed. Even my memory foam remembered me. (I told that to our friend David and he said, "Did it say, ‘Is that you, Jo?’" It’s so good to be home to his sense of humor.) I snuggled right into my spot and slept like a brick.
Man, it’s cold here, though! We’re shocked, and missing Houston’s warmth, already! We had to turn the heat on or I would have frozen. I’m wearing a fleece top to play canasta tonight. I’m so tickled to be getting to play! It’s great to be out and amongst people! I may not remember how to play, but I’ll be able to pick up and hold the cards! Woo hoo!
God has so richly blessed us. I’m still working on getting the house put back together. It’s wonderful to have some energy for this! Angela had the house sparkling when we got home, so that was so wonderful. We brought in a car load of belongings, so it’s all cluttered, again. It’s fun to be putting things where they belong. It’s wonderful to have the desktop computer! The laptop has been wonderful while we were gone, but the desktop is a real luxury in terms of speed and size, etc. I thank God for home, friends and family. We are so blessed to live in America . . . even Hobart!
Welcome, welcome, welcome home!!! It's so good to know you are there. I'm not sure why - maybe it kinda feels like this is 'over'? It feels good to know that you feel so good, too! And you are just in your right place now. In my mind you are where you're supposed to be. I don't have to keep up with you being someplace else!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see you guys! We have all kinds of ballgames going on here - soccer, baseball, softball - when you get ready to make a trip to the city, let me know and we'll go over the schedule. In fact, I'll try to email you everybody's schedule here in the next day or two then maybe you'll see a day you like.
Welcome, welcome, welcome home!!!
Love,
Tricia
Thanks, Trish. I totally understand what you're saying about feeling good about me being home. It's not like we see each other every week, but we COULD a lot easier than if we're 9 hours apart! Besides, we DO belong at home!
ReplyDeleteYes, please send us schedules and we'll see what games we can catch. We can hardly wait to see you all.
Thanks so much for the great welcome! We'll really feel welcome when we see you all!
Love you,
Mom
