I came home ;-) Not that the trip wasn't wonderful, because it was, but Duncan gets home from College tomorrow and I have 4 days to pack for leaving for England and... and ... and... So it's good to be home where I can get back on schedule ( Read more... )

I just realized I forgot to pick Drake up at the vet this afternoon after Boarding him while we were away. I hope they didn't put him out on the street.
