I am SO glad to be back. Ho...Thank you, everyone. I am SO glad to be back. Home home home! Oh, LOVELY!<BR/><BR/>I've been resting some, and doing a little bit of yardwork - keeping the city citations at bay! - but mostly I've gone to town on paperwork issues like you would not believe. If you see smoke coming out of that cat's ears, that's why.<BR/><BR/>Betsye, it was a VERY fine Tuesday. And the days after just got better and better and better. The new posts will tell you why. <BR/><BR/>PL, you saw true things in your dream that I haven't posted yet. And things I haven't even finished creating yet, but have planned out just as you described.<BR/><BR/>The only difference from reality, really, is that the wrought iron is used everywhere except my fences (plain board ones, they are); and my neighbor's velvety green lawns are good old S FL flat-as-a-pancake lawns, with not a tiny rise among them.<BR/><BR/>I can't wait until I post some of my hanging things for you to see. Oh, such fun to come!<BR/><BR/>Well thanks Nancy! That means I painted my picture in words well enough to see it. And to my delighted surprise, yes, I was greeted by two open flame lilies, and buds on others. According to the neighbors, this is their first bloom for a couple months.<BR/><BR/>Old spent buds are EVERYWHERE. So they must have had a riot at some point.<BR/><BR/>Granny J, I didn't know that! Huh. So at least one of you stayed in Florida for a bit, then, after the Jacksonville stint. Of course, once he was done, he REALLY left. ;-) Now I'm curious about what he studied at UF.<BR/><BR/>Jean, it is so good to be back. I waved *Hello!* at you as I buzzed past in the wee hours...<BR/><BR/>HA! Jan, you are 100% correct: it really was crowded in there! When I say I felt everyone around me, supporting me, watching over me - I meant it quite seriously. The exact same way you would, I expect.<BR/><BR/>That feeling really buoyed me up, especially as I got toward the end of the trip, and my strength was running low.<BR/><BR/>Livey, me, the World's Worst Slowpoke, has finally answered THAT question in the post above. Keep your eyes peeled in case that one little orphan returns to Lake Tomahawk...<BR/><BR/>dazd, you were another one I was waving *HI!!!* to as I went past. It's amazing how many of my readers are exactly along my route home. home home home! I betcha can't tell how much I love to say that word lately, huh?<BR/><BR/>oh, miss assassin! Yes. I'm done a-gypsying, for the nonce at least. Each experience in its time and place...I loved my trip and I love being back home now.<BR/><BR/>sue, hugs right back to you, and so will the catching up, in a bit. I can't believe how long it's been since I visited your place, and I have a feeling it's been a bit rough lately - I do hope you're okay.<BR/><BR/>mickysolo, YOU know about that feet-and-driving issue like nobody's business. Boy oh boy. That's going to be a whole separate post. <BR/><BR/>I'm guessing you were probably better off to do it quickly, get the drive over in one day. I drove UP there in one day, but on the way back, it just wasn't in me. That made it worse, I think. But they're better now, back to normal size again.<BR/><BR/>And congrats on your new arrival! I can finally say I have some understanding of how that feels. I'm so glad everyone's doing well. We like to think childbirth is no big deal in these modern times - but that's not the case. So to hear mama and baby are safe and sound is wonderful news.<BR/><BR/>I have missed reading so many of your blogs these last weeks. As I blast through several years' worth of accumulated paperwork here, I'll be able to start catching up soon. <BR/><BR/>I MISS you guys. Badly. Bear with me. Soon you'll see my IP footprints tiptoe-ing through your sitemeters...khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06430423256832961746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-82479447022661299372007-10-13T17:06:00.000-04:002007-10-13T17:06:00.000-04:00Hope you slept with your legs elevated.

Baby and Mom are great but my legs are a mess. An extra lasix helped.Mickysolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16084985513217132702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-35219415128855753712007-10-11T14:48:00.000-04:002007-10-11T14:48:00.000-04:00Catching up with your homebound adventures... glad...Catching up with your homebound adventures... glad you made it back safe and sound. {{hugs}}suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17087761009975204727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-78614063543445971282007-10-10T12:24:00.000-04:002007-10-10T12:24:00.000-04:00Yes, welcome home!!!

I kept thinking you were g...Well, that's a relief. I kept thinking you were going to run out of gas 50 miles away or something.<BR/><BR/>I just woke up from a dream that I was walking around your garden. It was semi-lucid--I was walking and <I>looking,</I> not making it up. There were hoses all over, where you'd soaked the ground to revive the plants. I found your stump collection, and there were all these little decorative pieces with smooth oval crystals suspended with jewelry wire. Some things in the ground looked like artichokes. On either side there were wrought-iron fences looking into neighbor's yards, with big rolling lawns. Your garden was walled in like a courtyard.Pretty Ladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00342833918614545778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11967806.post-36380702586203819772007-10-09T05:41:00.000-04:002007-10-09T05:41:00.000-04:00Oh...yes, YOU ARE HOME...HOME, safe and sound...no...Oh...yes, YOU ARE HOME...HOME, safe and sound...now, rest, heal, and, return... to the 'sweet and ordinary'...(smiles)....yet, beautifully 'technicolored' life and times of 'k'....<BR/><BR/>Happiest Tuesday, Sweet Lady<BR/><BR/>betsyeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
