"Hey, it's good to be back home again!"

I'm home!

Arrived yesterday afternoon early enough for Louis Dean and I to enjoy a little driveway sitting!

It was a beautiful evening so we took Lucy for a walk down to the local elementary school yard. Louis Dean had made dinner - baked fish, fresh cooked baby carrots and baked sweet potatoes. I can also just about tell you everything he cooked while I was GONE, too. My kitchen counters tell the stories! I came in and 'buzzed' for a couple of hours. Then we did what LD loves to do more than anything else!!

We SAT!! In the living room, wine glasses in hand - simply SITTING! Didn't even turn the TV on!! We caught up on all the news - even though we called each other many times every day while we were apart! I don't think  I will be going alone to Houston next time!

These were my travel companions on the drive down there and back.

I LOVE audio books! And Crazy Water AND taffy!!! BANANA taffy!

 AT&T Hot Spot Internet and a slice of apricot pie and coffee made for a welcome break on the home stretch into Dallas.  Louis Dean made an apricot pie last week. He scooped the filling out - NOT good, he said! - and then ate the pie crust! But not all  at one sitting he assured me!

I played all my Words With Friends and Scrabble games before climbing back into the car to bring 'er on home!

This morning I made the Fort Worth Beauty Shop Run for Mother. LD went with me! We hit up some good sales at Tuesday Morning and Steinmart before we all lunched on some great seafood at Red Lobster! (We brought home enough leftovers for supper tonight!) We ate so much we BOTH took naps when we got home! Bet Mother did, too!! We were SO full! I could make a meal off the Cheddar Cheese Biscuits and salad! Today Mother and I split the Coconut Shrimp and she also had a cup of clam chowder. One of her favorite meals!

Louis Dean helped me take my spring decorations down from the shed attic. I have a LOT to do in the next seven days! While I am NOT going to decorate for Easter until after next week's Quad Squad party - I AM going to add some touches of spring since the house has been 'bare' after the fall and Christmas stuff came down. I have the boxes all in here so I might as well get to cleaning AND decorating! We are having several musician friends over for a jam session and dinner on Sunday evening so I better get a move on!

This is one my favorite songs!!

John Denver!
