There's No Place Like Home

Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz said it best, there's no place like home. Especially after dealing with the drama and dysfunction of my extended family. There is a very sound reason we all live far away from each other, it's for each other's safety and sanity. I am trying to focus on the good things of the trip like canoeing around Black Cat Island with my husband and watching him teach our sons and nephew how to paddle too. The Lakes Region in New Hampshire is beautiful, lush, and green because of it's abundant rain which occurred daily. We had a nice visit with friends and enjoyed the food. I am really glad to home safe and sound to our nice, quiet house and our fur babies who are delighted we are home. Thanks for your well wishes for my dad on his big 8-0.

Welcome home! I know what you mean about how it can be to spend too much time with extended family. (((HUGS)))

You are so right, there is no place like home! I'm glad you had a nice trip - and you are completely correct when you say sometimes it's nice to have some of the family live a little distance away :-) Hope your dad has a great 80 if I didn't say that earlier...and it's nice to have you back. I let the old ute know you had written some strict orders for it, LOL!

Wow! Hope your dad had a great 80th! It's funny I also love the nature around where my parents live, but I can only take them for so long.

sounds like an overall good trip(if only to confirm the reason you live in diff. places :) )
