As the little rhyme says: “Home again, home again, jigity jig; I’ve been to the market to buy a fat pig”. Well, I think that is how it goes. But —- no, we didn’t buy a fat pig but we did buy some award winning baby-Swiss-cheeese and some marvelous chocolate at the Coblentz Chocolate  Factory. 

We left Millersburg, OH yesterday morning at 0800 and headed home. There was a think layer of fog and I was fearing a dreadful drive through that. But, within about forty-five minutes were drove out from under the clouds layer and it was sunshine all the way home. It was only about 500 miles and was interstate most of the way. We had to go through Columbus Ohio which wasn’t too bad and then of course we had to go through Cincinatti, Ohio. I hope I never have to have a need to drive through that city again. Traffic was horrible, construction was horrible, drivers are all in a hurry and rude. But we made it safely. When we got to the Louisville, KY area, we swung by Julies work place and dropped of some cheese and crackers and other goodies that we had picked up for her along the way. Then when we got to Evansville, we dropped by Karen’s house and did the same for her. Finally in the door here about 1630. We unloaded the car and collapsed in our recliners for a bit, — Then we got up and Ms. Kate started some laundry and I went down and got to work laying out work for today. Vacation’s over, reality is alive and well. 

Today I have to go to the churches and run the bulletins. While we are up that way I think we will run out to the little town of Johnson and pick up a watermelon and maybe a cantaloupe. Then I need to go tp Wild Birds Unlimited because they are having a store-wide sale. I also got to get the string trimmer out and do some trimming and mow the lawn. I think it is supposed to rain tomorrow so I need to do it today. Maybe I’ll check the weather report first. LOL And —- of course, the bird feeders are all empty and so is the bird=baths. 

It was a nice vacation and we really enjoyed it. And as tired as I was last night, I was already looking for future vacation spots. Last year we took a week and spent some time down at Emerald Isle, NC and really loved that. It would be nice to do that again. Of course what made it so great was that Lisa’s entire family was able to do that with us and I don’t know their schedules but suspect they would not be able to make it.  Our next scheduled vacation is at Disney world in January compliments of Steph and Chris. I’m excited about that. But, unfortunately, Ms. Kate and I have come to the realization that we are just not able to do much when we go on vacations. Getting old is a pain in the butt. 

That’s it for today. It’s great to be home. It’s Friday and the weekend is upon us. I hope your’s is filled with joy and love and a visit with the Lord God. Peace.
