The house was clean.  And intact.  My world did not implode without me here. I couldn’t have been more impressed.

I didn’t doubt my sweet hubby.  It’s just that this has never happened before.  Me… leaving.  And I’m pretty sure it won’t be happening anytime again soon.  Ladybug and Lovey didn’t seem to mind so much, but Peanut melted into a puddle of tears as I and my traveling companions drove away.  I couldn’t look.  

Like, I said… not happening again anytime soon. 

I had a great trip and now I am feverishly scrambling to catch up on life.  School begins in little more than a week.  There are lessons to plan, papers to file, and supplies to organize.  

I look forward to this time of year.  The temperature is already cooling and I am itching to entertain friends with a cozy bonfire and good coffee.  

So much to love.  

And there is one more thing I should probably share… but I’ll save that for tomorrow.  

Love and coffee.
