Home is sweet, but we're so tired!


This is a picture of me taken the night of our banquet at the reunion. I was sure having fun. I’m sure winding down from it all, today! Don and I are both so tired. We felt like we walked from Las Vegas! (Check out that hair! No curling iron, no nothing; just wash it, let it air dry. I'm getting used to it and will really be spoiled if the curl ever leaves me!)

Bob and Diana made it home fine, too. They got home about 3 hours ahead of us. We had breakfast with them this morning and heard lots of stories from their travels.

We had all the unpacking to do today and I’m still working on all that. We had to go get groceries, too. We were fresh out of food here.

We’re getting things put back together, though. It’s WONDERFUL to be home. We are so grateful for the opportunity to make the trip, and we sure give thanks for safe traveling. We certainly give thanks that we found our house in great shape. If we hadn’t known there was an intruder, we would never have suspected it. Our neighbor, Bill, was right on the ball and scared him out before he did any damage. This house was locked up so tight, we were afraid WE might not be able to get in when we got home! God is GREAT!

  1. Mary Joe, you look like you have been reinvented. Your new hair looks very nice, and I think the curly hair really makes you look young. I just count that as another one of God's unexpected blessings. Reading about your travel to Vegas and your casino fun times along with the reunion news was most interesting to read. Finally we have a three week break from going to Houston. The chemo pill is shrinking the tumors but its side effects can be most bothersome. When do you go again? Ann

  2. Thank you, Ann! It's probably the mascara that makes me look younger, but the hair is getting all the credit. Ha! That's okay. Maybe the hair is a big improvement, too. It sure beats bald and I sure thank God for another great surprise!

    We so missed you in Vegas. I'm glad you could live it with us through the blog.

    I'm sure glad the chemo pill is shrinking the tumors; that's a great thing. It's worth even the bothersome side effects, don't you think? Hang in there!

    We go again for appointments on October 28th. Maybe we'll go a little before that and stay a week. We haven't made that plan, yet. How long will you be there the next time?

    Love you,

    Mary Jo
