I made it safely back home!
Amanda and I were treated to quite a nice arrival in Chicago. Our plane came in south of the city, headed out over Lake Michigan, then turned to head back to the airport going north of the city. The views of the all the buildings and the lake was magnificent.
My wonderful grandma picked me up from the airport and I came home to a hot and empty house. Since I got home at about 5:00 this evening I pulled weeds in my Mom's many gardens, did 3 loads of laundry, picked cabbage, tomatoes, broccoli, and cucumbers from the garden, went through my mail, unpacked, and ate vegetables from the garden for dinner. And now I'm trying to repack to leave tomorrow morning to go to see all my family at our cabin in Canada. I'm exhausted, but glad to be home and even happier to be able to see all my family tomorrow.
I still have a pretty substantial list of things I want to write about that happened on my trip. I'm very much looking forward to a few weeks of lounging by the lake, but I promise you, my faithful readers, that there is much more to come on this blog.
