Home Again!

At convention in Norway
Well Don and I are home from our Med cruise. We were in a whirlwind of countries, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Monaco, France, Greece, and Norway, all over three weeks. Had a great time (thanks Castons, Wainwrights, and Chappels for making it so). And a BIG thanks to Ester Lynch who did all the hard work of putting the trip together for all of us and then inviting us to Norway for convention. John and Ester are the most gracious hosts. I missed my kids and grandbabies terribly. Eli was just 2 weeks old when we left and now he is over a month and built like a truck. There is no doubt that he and Chloe are siblings, just one is blonde and one is dark. As fun as it was to see the world, we were very happy to come home to US soil where things are familiar, and we know the rules. Greece was my favorite place to see. We were there on a sunday so the meeting we went to was so touching and afterwards they put on a big lunch, with authentic Greek food, for all of us, then 3 of the workers toured us around Athens. Mars Hill, the Parthenon, and the Acropolis were by far the most amazing thing I have ever seen. The only down side to the trip was the HEAT! I so appreciated the dry heat we have in Elk Grove, because over there it is humid and hot, hot, hot!
