12 on the 12th: Coming Home!

Starting out the morning early, just shy of 0630, I head out on my morning summer walk.   Oh hold the applause, this is mostly about connecting with other friends in the neighborhood, as we walk 'n chat (heavy on the chat).

Stopped along the way to snap a picture of the grass fire that happened over the weekend.  This is the green space behind my subdivision.  This fire is minor compared to the wild fires burning through our state as I type this.

It's Wednesday so you know what that means:  COFFEE CLUB!    A small gathering this week, but in many ways, this is just as nice as our bigger groups...we actually had a chance to participate in all the conversations and helped Susan with a dilemma (GO to California and visit your parents, no one should ever regret time spent with family).

And since I had already walked, I figured Stewie could use a little exercise as well...so after coffee we scooted over to Safeway where I treated myself to some flowers...

 Daylight's wasting...time to get busy.   First order of business is to re-arrange the garage.  With Hubby out of town, well, we sort of took over his space with our stuff.  That simply won't do....

 Garage in order, next stop is the Party Store...where one realizes no matter how cool they might try to act, wind up toys are still fun to play with while you are waiting for your mom to make up her mind....

Home from our quick run to the store!  Time to wake up Thing One and put him to work...

 Channeling our inner decorator...with indoor chalk

 And out door side walk chalk (in case you can't read it, it says "Dad went NORTH to Alaska"

And one last touch...and we are ready..

For the Hubby's great return from Alaska!  

 Yes indeed, it has been a great day from start to finish!  

Welcome Home, Honey!  We missed you and are so glad that you made it home safe and sound...
