back again

So here we are again. Back to the Texas grind.

This trip south wasn't quite as hard as the first one; familiarity played a big part. We knew where we were headed and how long we'd stay. The further we drove, the higher the temperatures became. The dirt changed colors. South of Abilene, TX, we once again appreciated the kindness of fellow drivers. Did you know that on the 70-mph two-lanes, it's common courtesy (maybe the law) to pull off to the paved shoulder so faster traffic can pass? If only they could make that rule on the stretch from Sabetha to Holton.

I mustn't rub it in, but it was quite nice to wear shorts again today. Our temperatures reached a comfortable 85, while we pitied you Kansans with your cloudy 46-degree forecast. Oh, we'd love to freeze with you. Seriously. :)

What a blessed time it was at home. Isaac showed me a new trick here. In the up-side-down position, he stated, "I love to be at home!"

We are happy to be back in our beds, but we do so look forward to Thanksgiving.
