Well, we’re back home in hot New Mexico, though thankfully the 100 degrees plus heat spell has broken. It’s rained a couple of times, good thing. We got home to dead trees and dead house plants. We need to water ASAP, but Laird was on the mountain Tues and today, also tomorrow and the water truck had a dead battery. Perhaps tonight. Ooops, no, tonight we get to see THEODORE and SIA! Chris and Alexandra, too. And bringing dinner, now that’s a great welcome home! I don’t know where we’ll put ourselves, given that the dining room table is loaded with a mountain of mail and everywhere else is a mess, too. My bed is now piled high with clothes I just grabbed from the suitcases and threw there. But at least the suitcases are emptied — well, maybe not; there are only two standing here in the library and we had three. I guess I must go hunt it down and empty it as well. I hope it holds all the things I keep saying “where is it?” about. I look forward to seeing all my friends again and hope to fill up my calendar with lunches and dinners with you all. Alas, some are leaving very soon for long summer vacations in Nantucket and Michigan — lucky them! Though I guess I shouldn’t complain — I have another vacation coming up in the fall, going on a river cruise from Zurich to Amsterdam, with Noekie. I better start saving for the unfortunate dollar conversion to Euros. Even Brexit can’t make the dollar more than the Euro — unless I’ve missed something in the news; quite possible, since the newspaper delivery hasn’t kicked in yet.
HAPPY DAYS to you all — until we travel again. And if you get to travel, we wish you HAPPY TRAILS!
