So...........I'm home and trying to get things back in order here. Not having much luck - the 4-wheeler is broken - the mower is broken - and I've had a bug for the last 2 weeks so no energy. Not making much progress on the To-Do list! Ugh.

It's SO hot and dry. Temps have been over 100 for 6-8 weeks here and I don't know when's the last time it rained. The deer have been coming right up to the house and they're skinny! Not much for them to eat and I feel bad that I haven't been here to feed them.

Still happy to be HOME(!) and I've managed to get the house and yard cleaned up and the deer fed. Hoping to get started on some projects next week......

Left home April 6 to go back to Jacksonville. Seems my trips get longer and longer and my time at home shorter and shorter. Since December I've been home TWO weeks! It's great to see the sunrise over the ocean every morning but I still miss my home!

Mom doing much better and planning a trip to France with Gerald and Paula so I left for home July 9. Arrived here July 11 and hoping to stay at least a month. Woo Hoo! (So much to do I don't know where to start though!)
