The Return, 7:30 pm, Flint

Just finished putting the last clothes away and shoving those questionables down the shoot with the withoutadoubts. So incredibly hard to believe we are back so soon. Not that the trip went fast mind you, it's more amazing that we can travel between such vastly different ways of life in so short of time. After one week in a 5,000 square foot beach house, to a $40 room last night (and believe me, you get what you pay for), it must be what Cindy felt when the clock stuck 12! The pumpkin chariot disappeared. My dress is torn!! Actually, that's a spin on Kathy's analogy. She exclaimed she was missing her glass slipper when she entered her 10x20 box of hotel...

Ahh, the good life. And I mean that in the most sincere way. We do have it good.

I end this trip with the abcs of our favorite moments in Destin, et al. Writing this blog is definitely on my list. It was great fun to steal away and write. In fact, I am going to try and make it a practice to do something on this thing at least once a week, if not more.

If you are reading this, I'm flattered. If you're not - well, you're not.

From home, home sweet home...
