Home Again

 I got home and hit the ground RUNNING.

It was a WONDERFUL trip!

Isn't her birthday skirt beautiful?

My flights home were quick and easy.

It takes WAY longer to drive to Wichita

than it does to fly to Tucson.

And that's weird.

I'm used to flying for 8 hours.

But we were in the air for just over 2 hours

on the way to Dallas and then under an hour

to Wichita - basically enough time to get

a glass of water, drink it, and then we

were landing.

Rod was there to meet me,

and we went to Jersey Mikes for a quick

lunch of a sub sandwich and then headed

back home again.

It was a LONG day for him... nearly 8 hours

in the truck (although I drove on the way home...)

And we stopped in Hays for some groceries

on our way.

Sunday was a nice, relaxing day for all of us.

(Well, except Kyle, he teaches the Sunbeams..... lol.)

But AFTER church it was a nice relaxing day.

I made Reid's Roast!

And it was MAHVELOUS!

(Yup, it even works on a small 2 pound

roast, in a TOASTER OVEN!)

It was tasty!

And then on Monday Kyle went out to the farm

and Rod and I went into Hays to Home Depot

to see about a case for the new grease gun,

(and look for a new fridge...)

It's on sale AND they will free deliver it to the house!

Then to Tractor Supply for a couple buckets and some

baby chick supplies (they arrive Monday the 28th),

and WalMart for a two more big blue totes to

put my freeze dried stuff in.

A quick run through the drive-thru at Wendys.

Then I taught class.

I had 20 students!

This morning the guys went out to the farm.

Rod went to meet the electricity people.

They are putting TWO poles on the property,

one by Kyle's house and one by ours,

and it should happen in 3 days.

And then he went to work on the water trough

pump AGAIN. (And for the 3rd time, they

sent the wrong part........ grrrrrr!)

Meanwhile, I did a good house clean.

It gets DUSTY here in the midwest.

(I've never had to sweep a ceiling before...)

And then we put 75 pounds of flour into

food grade buckets with gamma lids

we bought at Tractor Supply on Monday.

And I did some more organizing and cleaning

in my office and did all the paperwork for

last week's classes.

And now, Kyle is home from the farm and I'm

going to go think about what's for dinner.
