Journey's end

Yesterday was the longest day of the trip by far. We were up 21 hours. But we are home and it feels so good. The first thing I noticed was the silence of the northwest. Music to my ears! And to walk through the door into our house and be greeted by that fur ball of ours was just heavenly!

We really did have the time of our lives this past few weeks. On the drive home from the airport we were talking of our favorite parts of our trip. We had a long list of favorites and even though we are glad to be home to the quiet here, we did enjoy experiencing the noise and hub of the city life, from the trains to the crowds and everything in between!

We also feel we were very blessed on this trip. We were so blessed with safety, the perfect place to stay, with no lost luggage, friendly people always willing to help, perfect weather, and two wonderful people back in Salem who did such a fabulous job of taking care of our house and kitty!

We've had a great day tackling our mountain of laundry, making a little grape juice, decorating the house for the start of the holidays and getting and receiving hugs and kisses from one loving kitty! Now it is time to ready ourselves for General Conference this week end and fill our Spirits.
