My conference got over about an hour earlier than expected on Wednesday, this gave me the opportunity to catch an earlier flight to Seattle and then go standby home. Took me three flights to get on standby, and I got home five hours earlier than scheduled. This was a huge relief because making the 2 1/2 hour drive in the wee early morning hours wasn't something that I was looking forward to and I was pretty excited to get home by 10:00 PM. Rob greeted me with a bottle of red wine, home made chocolate covered strawberries and roses placed strategically from the front door, all the way to the bedroom. I think he missed me

We went to meet friends for a get-together out on the river last night, and decided to ride our bikes. We have to travel on a narrow bridge probably about 3' wide and several hundred feet long. On the way there this presented a challenge for Rob and I could tell he was a bit angry about it. The great thing about this was he was able to get the hang of it on the way back. I knew he could do it.

It has been hot, I'm catching a cold, and recovering from my travels. It feels good for us all to be home, and things getting into place.
