Home again...

I'm finally back home in Deroche after 6 weeks on the road... Well, actually it doesn't seem like all that long a time. Less than 24 hours after getting home the power went out... 72 hours later, still no power... I should have stayed in India, at least the power outages there don't seem to last longer than a few hours...
Leaving home is a great reminder of things that are important to you. There are alot of things I missed while away (and as I seem to have grown fond of listing things)...

My girls

Anastasia& Katie

Alexandra

My car (I know, I know, it's not very flash... but it is paid for...)

My dogs

Emma
&
Eli

My mountains...

My bed... I really, really missed my bed...

My highspeed internet connection... Oh yeah, still don't have that... no power... dammit...

My kayak...

My fiddle...

Beef... I know, that sounds wrong somehow but it's true...
I suppose I could be a vegetarian and survive...
Probably would do just fine without my left ear too,
but that doesn't mean I'd cut it off...
Sorry this is going in an odd direction...

Of course there are any number of things I didn't miss while away from home...

Chores...

Dishes... why are there mountains of dishes when the power goes out?



Cooking for unappreciative, picky, critical children (and they look like such little angels)...



Climbing the god-damn mountain to fix the water system every time it rains hard...
Go ahead and ask me what I did my very first morning at home...

Still, I have little cause for complaint... Not that I've ever let that stop me before... It is good to be home, honestly it is... But India was pretty darn nice too.
