wow, its been a week since posting!

Sorry, Life has been a blurr since the last sat am post. Wow, has it been that long?
Our day at Klackles last saturday, was fun, full, and so many activities. Corn maze, dirt bikes, rides on tractor pulled trains to the orchard to pick apples, pumpkins, and for fun. Lots to eat, zip line, as well as lots of apples to eat.
The kids just fell into bed, when we got back late. So did we, after our showers of course.
Sunday....we got up early, and got all the last minute things loaded, and went in to say good bye to the kids. Figured if we left early today, when they would have church to turn around and focus on, might make our leaving easier. Played one last card game of 3's with the boys and Sadie.
It was still a truly sad moment in time. Loving each other, and having to be apart is no fun. But the idea of having something to focus on soon after our departure, did help, but we weren't there to witness it.
Our trip back was great. Sunny, and got warmer and warmer, the furthur south we came. 70's is sure better than 40's.
Stopped in Des Moines and got to visit with Aunt Helen. what a sweet lady.
Got home 1:30 am, and showered, and fell into bed.
Monday.... Todd showed up for work at 8:10am, and we just rolled over and went back to sleep. At 9, Gary intercomed down to the office, and ask if Todd needed him today, and got an immediate yes. So out we rolled, and the day began. Still in vacation mode.
We learned life went on, even tho we stepped out of our lives for a month, but it didn't stop or wait for us. Todd did a great job keeping up with the business, and some of our duties here at home. He became a great pilot in this past month. He piled "stuff" all over the place here in the office. I looked thru the piles, and decided they can wait. Still in vacation mode. After Gary got home, we unloaded the boat. Wow! My house looked like it exploded with all the stuff everwhere, but there is always tomorrow to put it away. I am still in the vacation mode. Went to bed early.
Tuesday....did laundry, laundry, laundry, put some stuff in the rooms they belong, or actually put some stuff away. Slowly, I am making progress at this, but I am still in the vacation mode. Went to get groceries, so we will have bread, and milk etc now.
Wednesday...put away some of the final things still out. Handling some stuff in the office. Gary got the algea eater fish in from the pond to the sun room, so they might live thru the winter. Only the smallest didn't make it, but the 3 biggest, about 1 foot long each, are now inside, and learning to live in a much smaller area. The coi, and goldfish will be fine in the pond all winter. Still need to bring in some of my plants before they freeze. The ones I left out when we left got frosted while we were gone, so I just need to cut off the dead and move the pots in. maybe tomorrow, since I am still in vacation mode.
Went to church for dinner and choir. Good to have so many smiling faces greet us. Still in vacation mode.
Thurday.... Doing office stuff, and hanging out. Still in vacation mode. Talked to my grandbabies up north, and doing this blog entry. Still in vacation mode, and each day I have been calling folks on the landline to touch base since we are back now. Fot 2 more weeks anyway. Then we are headed to Mexico for a week of swimming and fun in the sun. Still in vacation mode.
Tonite is survivor! and of course I am Still in vacation mode.
