and now we're back

Europe was so much.

It may have been the 16-day tour through eight countries--so lots of bus time seeing lots of stuff on a very surface level.

Or it may have been that Europe is quite simply, so very much.

So much history.  So much architecture.  So much art.  So much acreage.  So much food.  So many people.  So many languages.  So very much.

Our tour guide told us on the first night that the tour we were on was an appetizer.  Something to whet our appetites that would make us want to come back for more, over and over. 

She was right.

we're here

After a three-hour delay at the airport, and a ten-hour flight, we've arrived!

lots of stuff

It's been a while since I've posted.  Lots of things going on but here's four of them:

1.  Jr is healed from his appendectomy.
2.  For the first time in my life, last Friday I wore eyebrow makeup all day, on purpose, that wasn't part of a costume.
3.  Jack and I are headed to Europe tomorrow for 16 days.
4.  I'm fighting with yet another stye.  So there's that.

And one more.  Hasn't this spring been absolutely lovely?
