Home, Sweet Home
Alison, her kids, and I made it home late yesterday afternoon after an exhausting journey involving more airports than I ever wish to see in the course of a day again.
After a simple dinner of sandwiches, I sorted through the accumulated mail, and Ali and the kids watched a movie. We were all in bed, asleep, by ten. Of course, that means we were up earlier than we would have liked. Ali and I were awake and making a pot of coffee at 5. The kids stayed in bed a bit longer.
But, at least, we got a good night's sleep, and a head start on getting over the jet lag. And we will be able to get out and about to do some last minute shopping before the crowds hit the local retail areas.
After we are done with the shopping, I'm thinking it might be a good day to build a fire in the fireplace and watch movies.
I hope your Saturday will be filled with family, fun, and love.
Welcome back!

Sounds like a good plan, our Saturday involves baking, movies and the fire.

Have a Merry Christmas, Allan! I'm glad you all got safely home to Lexington!
By the way, now that we live on a farm, I get up at 5:00 am EVERY morning! My two roosters don't quit crowing until I go out and tell them good morning!

Mmmmmm. Baking. Yep. Might have to do some of that, too.
I also need to Google a recipe for Chicken Leek Soup.

That sounds like a perfect day! (especially considering the rainy weather we're having here!) Joyeux Noel, presque.
