Home at Last

It is great to be back home and have all of my family back under one roof for a couple of months. I've really looked forward to this. Loading up my son's possession in the moving truck was a job. He had nearly everything packed and labeled according to where it was going (home or storage), but it looked like a mountain of stuff. In reality, it only took us 4 hours to finish packing, load everything and clean the house for the last time, but it felt like 8. A meal followed immediately afterwards (what do you call a meal eaten at 4pm?) at Denny's and then my husband and I called it a day! My son had some things to drop off at various places before leaving town and we kept his little dog while he did that, but then we just turned on the television and did nothing. I don't know what else, if anything, he did.

We went to his church service this morning in a small town outside of Bryan/College Station. It is a small town, but a remarkably large church and they have just built a new sanctuary. We went in the old church building, though, because it is a beautiful old country church and my son knew I would like it. I told him it even smells like an old church. After the service, my husband hit the road in the moving truck immediately. We grabbed sandwiches at a shop in College Station, picked up the dog at the motel and weren't too far behind him. Even so, my husband and daughter had already left for choir rehearsal when we got here, so I didn't get to check on her. She called, though, and says she's fine. She wore herself out yesterday going to a high school graduation and party. Once home, some of the neighborhood kids came in to hang out for awhile and then she went next-door and ate supper over there before lazing around in front of a DVD. I'm pleased that she showed the good sense not to drive down to Waco to meet her "Dinner for 8" group when she was tired. She really is growing up! I'm pleased to see it.

That's about it from our thriving metropolis (yeah, right). Thanks for stopping by. Have a great week.
