"No matter under what circumstances you leave it, home does not cease to be home. No matter how you lived there." - Joseph Brodsky


Some highlights from our trip home last week:
·         Getting my nails done with Whit for less than $50
·         Going to Qdoba with Whit and getting the chips and guac on the side
·         John being happy that he got to go to his office for a day. He does exist!
·         Whit’s recipe for tortellini soup that we got to try.
·         Shopping at Target. Twice.
·         Shopping at Costco and eating all of the samples.
·         Superholiday Thanksmas Birthday celebration. See previous post.
·         Meeting our new niece, Claire. 
·         Getting pedicures with the Dolin women. And the leg massage that I got.
·         Eating pumpkin pie. And lemon merengue. In the same dessert serving. And they weren’t half slices.
·         Monday night dinner with the AGDs.
·         At MND, Jacquie saying, totally seriously, “I never take toilet paper for granted.”
·         Getting a Kindle for my birthday and Christmas and getting to use it right away.
·         Drinking Starbucks.
·         Making pecan balls with my mom. Then deciding the first batch wasn’t enough so making a second batch even after everything had already been washed and put away.
·         Playing The Farming Game with John and my mom. Yes, we have a game called The Farming Game. Yes, we play it regularly. Yes, I won.
·         Eating steak and baked potatoes. And having steak leftovers.
·         The pass not having any snow on the roads.
·         Meeting our other new niece, Aubrey. 
·         Cuddling with Jenn on their couch that is really a bed.
·         Getting a no cavity report for John and I at the dentist.
·         Playing Cropduster with Jenn and Michael.
·         Michael’s turkey for a sandwich for the road.
·         Playing Cropduster with Heather and Pete.
·         Eating sushi.

·         Eating teriyaki.
·         There were no lowlights.
