Home SWEET Home!!!




We are HOME!!!
I must say we are TIRED but so HAPPY to be HOME!!


I was so impressed with all the wonderful 'Rest Areas' both in Colorado and Texas!


It was a fun way to stretch our legs and walk around a bit.


I'm sure Louis Dean thinks we pack THIS MUCH stuff when we travel!


Weather info was right on!


The driving directions were helpful.
We avoided some construction and came in on Hwy 114.


We stopped at every single one!
Plus some McDonald's and various gas stations and truck stops.

Louis Dean was my Knight in Shining Armour!
While he was still suffering from his allergy induced asthma attack - he drove all the way home from Dumas! The reason we had to stop so much was I am once again battling a UTI.
I was miserable. I will be calling the doctor in the morning.
That awful infection is making me think it is a monster!
All the days I was taking antibiotics I think it was just hunkering down and let the medicine go right past. Then when the pills stopped - it reared its ugly self and roared at me!
It feels like WAR!!!

We drove up in the drive way and I walked straight in to take a hot shower!
LD unloaded EVERYTHING! Then HE took a nice long bath while I put things up and started laundry.


My sweet husband was a very happy camper tonight!
Now that we are home - his allergies/asthma has calmed down and he has his remote control, easy chair and a BIG TV AND a Dallas Cowboy Football Game!!!

During halftime he looked at me and said, "Now tell me again WHY we left our comfortable home?"

    Oh no, not again with the UTI! I hope the doctor can find something that will finally get rid of it for good. Welcome home! I've enjoyed your trip but there's no place like home!

    I am so sorry you are sick again! I battled with it for many years. Have they taken a culture? I hope they find something that helps...maybe get referred to a urologist, this is all they do and they are very good at it.

    So true! There's no place like home. Glad to hear that you made it back safely. Sorry to hear that you're battling a UTI though. That is so uncomfortable. Drink lots of cranberry juice and take a warm bath. Hopefully, your doctor can get you cured!

    When we were young, I hated for vacation to end, but now I'm really happy to get home, no matter how much we've enjoyed the vacation! Hope you can get this UTI cleared up for good.

    Hope you got in to see your Dr. today and are back on an antibiotic. Bet it was great to be in your own bed last night. Hope you are both feeling better.

    How terrible for you - I used to find that lots of black coffee and then cranberry juice was helpful to flush the system out. Take care

    Nooooo...you both got sick traveling! Well, of course, the answer to Louis Dean's question is that you travel so you can remember how much you love your home. I am glad that you are there and I hope that you were able to see your doctor and get some good, effective meds.

    There's nothing like being in your own bed! You do have to get the heck outta Dodge now and again though. :) So glad you had safe travels and I hope that both of you are feeling great again!
