Home again.....

We arrived home last night (Wed 9/22) about 10pm.....exhausted.  We were able to get on both of the flights we requested, but the standby option is a little stressful.  Our flight from Washington DC to Indy was delayed 3 hours due to weather, but we were aboard.  Debbie, our friend who has been house-sitting, greeted us along with the dog and 4 cats.  Everyone was glad to see everyone else!  Thank you Debbie for being the perfect house-sitter.....the house was spotless, animals well-cared for and grand-daughter Preslee reached first for "Auntie Debbie" this morning when her Mom & Dad dropped her off !!  Fortunately, it didn't take her long to remember her Grannie & Papa.

I can't wait to watch some football this weekend...Ft Wayne Dwenger on Fri, IU on Sat and the Colts on Sun.  The Europeans truly could not care less about American football.  Aside from family & friends, football was the thing I missed most while traveling abroad in September.

Thanks to my sister Shirley, I started working on this blog, and I will say I am surprised at the amount of enjoyment I have gotten from it.  I prefer this forum over Facebook as it seems more personal.  Each day of the trip, we enjoyed trying to decide which events to write about....plus the act of getting connected to the internet everyday certainly presented some challenges.  And the feedback we received from y'all was wonderful.  We felt connected, even though we were a long way from home. So, now that I have begun, I will try to keep posting to this blog. Hopefully, some interesting things will happen that I want to share with you....otherwise....it will be pretty boring.

Stay tuned....you know.... not all excellent adventures take place a long way from home....
