Home Again



Back from vacation.

Back from lazy days, sleeping in, sunburned noses, outdoor cookouts, reading book after book, making new friends, cold beers, and late night board games.

Back from boat rides, tubing, kneeboarding, and sitting on the dock. Back from wading along the shore searching for little fish. Back from watching the sun dip into the lake with sand in my toes. Back from watching my kids have the time of their lives.

Back home.

It's good to be home. :)

WELCOME HOME!!

I think I'm even happier that you're home! It felt like you were away for 7 months!!

What a gorgeous picture!

Welcome Back!!!I feel like Kelly told me you had gone out of town for a week, about 3 WEEKS ago. Time was snailing by.

It is so good to get away, but so sweet to get back home. Sleep in your own bed, drink from your own coffee cup,lay on your own couch,...just thinking about all the things i miss when I am away from home.

:):)

WOW! That is a GORGEOUS shot of Lake June! Glad you had a nice time! Sounds FUN! We're going to my parents' lake house for 2 weeks at the , end July! Can't wait...it's very serene and peaceful! I love it up in WI (can you hear me stressing certain syllables in W-I-S-C-O-N-S-I-N!?) LOL! ;-)

It is nice to be home, glad you made it back safely!

Julie...

Yes, you can do it!! Just bring lots of books, magazines, sunblock, and prepare to re-LAX.
Oh and alcohol, too. But you already knew that, lol.

And tell yourself this "down time" is what you have longed for all school year...

It also helps if you have:
a)texting
b)internet access.

Just sayin'.

(I did not have (b), and it drove me craaazy.)

Have FUN!!!

hate the packing part of a trip...love the being away...relaxing, unwinding, forgetting about all concerns, lists, and obligations...but always, always love returning even more. glad you had fun and you're home safe.
