With Pennsylvania behind us and memories from the road with good friends we are now home. Yes, I said home and I mean home in several ways. First and foremost, as I always sign off on this blog, home is where we park it. Secondly, we have arrived at our destination and home for the next four to five months. Our third level of being "home" was apparent as we got near our final exit on the interstate. We had driven this stretch of road many times last year and it had that familiarity of being home. We know the roads, the landmarks, the shortcuts, and everything that makes one comfortable upon returning home.
The last and maybe most important way that we knew we were home is....well let me just say Penny and Kim. Both of them gave us a welcome back that is only given to family and the best of friends. Even Mr. B, one of the company vice-presidents spotted us and had to come and give us a welcome back that made us feel right at home. I've said before that in our travels we see so many wonderful and awesome things but what stays with us and means the most are the people we meet.
The next few days will be busy getting our work documents in order, restocking the fridge, getting our home set up for the long stay, and a whole list of things that need to be done after a long and successful journey. It is chillier than we are used to and the weather could be nicer but to paraphrase the saying literally, a little rain must fall.
I will end this blog having a list of things that need attention in front of me and will sign off as usual from our home in Curfu, New York because.....
Home is where we park itt,
Frank and Mary
