This Friday Favorites focuses on my favorite things about coming home. For example, good neighbors like the one who shoveled our walks, so we didn’t come home to this. (These photos were taken 36 hours later. It’s hard to believe just two days before, we were making footprints in the sand.)

But I digress. Favorite things about coming home–sleeping in my own bed.

Seeing Charlie Dog, even if he did pout for two days. We’re not sure if he’s mad that we left him or mad that we made him come home from the Penneys’ house.

You know I love traveling, but there truly is no place like home. (If only I had magic ruby shoes to get me there, so I could skip the airport!)

    Happy spring! And not a moment too soon. Of course, as I write this, my lawn is covered with snow. Welcome to spring in Utah.

  • As the sun sets

    You may  have noticed (or not) that I have been absent from the Blogosphere for the last couple of weeks. We have been in Mazatlan, Mexico, celebrating the life of a dear friend.
