Home at last...

We arrived home Wednesday afternoon… somewhat later than expected due to weather delays…

We were upright, but tired, but not done…

Home… at least the dog was excited… we love the dog… she loves us…

Drag suitcases in… dump them out… piles of laundry… a few things hung in the closet.

While we had been gone, the son had returned home… He was in dive school, in Florida… While in school, he was using my truck, formerly my dad’s truck… He stopped and visited the sister in law, emptied out the storage locker with our stuff from mom and dad… and fully loaded, headed west Jacksonville to somewhere near Tampa (sister in law, brother, brother not home… he is in Alaska, fishing… fish fear him… they should) to empty the storage locker… to Laffette Louisinana, sleeping in the truck, but the truck seats don’t recline, Mom and Dad and the dog (not Emma, Cleo, Mom & Dad’s late dog) are behind he seat… On, on again to just beyond El Paso… a motel this time… On again… to near Phoenix Arizona… to stay with a cousin, Jay… Brian is Navy, Jay Army… they connect in ways we can’t… Then on again… home… to San Mateo… and now, the stuff, Mom, Dad, the dog… tools (Brian’s) silver, papers, (I now have nearly 60 years of pigeon breeding records… there is a pigeon museum… they may be a match made in heaven) Some is in Brian’s room, other piled in the living room… We have returned to chaos… In the middle of the piles, set apart, are Mom, Dad, and Cleo the dog… not all just ashes… (ashes, ashes, we all fall down)

Home… laundry in the washer… all T,I and Steph to lunch , joined by Brian and Lauren… then to work… Patterson House… emails, phone messages, a meeting… What time is it???

Meeting convened… Steph at the end of the table… studying phyisics or maybeO chem…

Home… I wanted time on the computer… to blog… to write… to think (many of you reading this may question the idea that I think… get over it, please.)

I blogged… (time and the trip) then wrote some (this) then went to bed… Up early… the alarm went off at 6:30 am pdt…(for once, I am pretty sure its Pacific Daylight Time… the nearby clocks say so…)

To bed, nearly midnight local time… (we have established local time… see above)

Nighty night… for now…
