Back in The Saddle

Yep, I'm home.
I don't know why I can't get the photos to show from my last post? Maybe it's this dinosaur of a lap-top? It's three years old after all. hmmm.
I went right to work on Thursday morning. Right back to the 'To-Do Rack'. It was good to see lots of work to do, good to have it to come home to. I didn't miss too many phone calls; Chuggy monitored the answering machine and the messages. Business tends to slow down in August so it's a good time to be away.
I had a beautiful time in Canada. I saw lots of old/good friends, spent time with #1 Friend, saw a little of St. Thomas, shopped for souveniers and found lots of 'Oh, Canada' memorabilia. It was after Canada Day after all. Most of it was on the clearance racks. Hooray! The hats were a hit!
Surprisingly, I had a little jet-lag. This old frame is feeling every bit like it's nearing the half century(!) mark. Used to be we could zip around forever, like leaving the Bay Area after school on a Friday, driving to Burbank, and then turning around and driving home after Gospel, go to school that very Monday morning. I think that had been an eight hour drive back then? Anyway, it has taken a while for me to feel re-adjusted. Besides, I neglected my two mile morning walk while away. I sure could tell!
Teaching Clementine (we sang about the forty-niner) was a wonderful experience. She was an eager learner, bright and enthusiastic like Josephine was at that age. I'll do it again in a flash. The objectives were perfect, the end result quite satifactory. I owe a lot to Chuggy who helped me organize, prioritize, and plan. She's a planner, that one!
