Finally HOME!

I'm finally back home.  After almost a week, a 3000 mile road trip and a funeral.  I've learned some things this last week.

Traveling by myself in the car is so BORING!!!  The only relief is when there is a large grass fire on the side of the road.  But that only took up like 5 minutes of my time.

It looked much more impressive in real life


Traveling in a 12 passenger van with my Dad, 3 siblings and their significant others is anything but boring! 

So they're all sleeping in this picture, but it was fun when everyone was awake!


I can get up at 4 am for 3 out of 4 days and still function in the real world.

Getting together with my extended family, even for something as sad as my Grandma's memorial service, still involves a lot of noise, laughter and chocolate chip cookies.

Most of the grand kids making cookies, exactly to Grandma's specifications!


Hubby by himself, 4 kids, camping trip for 4 days.  Enough said.

Grief is funny.  I was fine all day today, but when I got home and started talking to Hubby it was like I was re-living the memorial service all over again. 

There is no place like home.
