We arrived home seven days ago.
House was still standing, yard looked great. But wait. One of our shrubs is missing. Not a really big deal, but something to ask landscaper about.
Since we left in April with the upstairs in an uproar, and the downstairs full of the things from upstairs, we couldn't empty the trailer until we set things right. So we carried things back up stairs. Made another Goodwill pile. Threw some stuff away.
Then we could empty the trailer. Then CLEAN the trailer. Wash linens and put them back. Wash dishes and put them back.
We took a truck load of friends to see Aimee's art on display, and to dinner. So the truck had to be emptied. We brought three wheelbarrow loads of rock for the patio. We brought four wheelbarrow loads of rusty things for artistic use. We (unintentionally) brought three cups of gravel, sand, dirt and leaves in the footwells.
It was old home week at the art show. Many former teacher/friends were there, so we had some good chats.
Peggie went to the doctor yesterday and received an injection. Opinion is that Alaska doctors should have been injecting, but didn't.
Maybe tomorrow we will go wash the outside of the truck and trailer and put the trailer in storage for a while.
We are ready to start the basketball season. We have tickets to the Red Blue Game on Saturday. We will get to see the new players for the first time, and get an idea of who to watch. We are taking Janice, who used to have season tickets and with whom I attended most of the games one season. She is another former teacher/friend we have to catch up with.
We definitely avoided 100 degree days. Tonight and tomorrow there is a chance of snow in the mountains.
We still have stuff to put away (where it goes, nobody knows). We are not in routine status, yet. But, we have the spa running and have used it. We have most of our favorite, and some new shows recording. We have several to-do lists started. I've grilled two dinners. We are eating healthy again. Experts say you can't catch up on lost sleep, but I think that is what we are doing. Afternoon naps. Siestas. Snoozes.
We are very happy not to have had any baaad adventures on the way home. In fact, the travel was so much fun, we want to do more of it. But not just yet.
