Home-Sweet-Home.......

HOME * SWEET * HOME


We made it home safe and sound late Sunday evening to the view above......

About 100 miles from home, we stopped to take a "Butt-Break" and stepped outside the RV to 100 degree temps.  At that point, for the rest of the trip home, I bribed.....I begged.....I offered kickbacks......to Chuck to let me "turn around" and drive back to Colorado......to a constant answer of "NO".....AGHHH......I swear, if only he would have taken a nap, I would have turned that bus around and headed west......I bet I could have gotten to New Mexico before he realized we weren't headed home!

But it really is good to be home......other than the first two days of 100+ temps, we are now feeling cooler, nippier temperatures.  I can feel Fall right around the corner......But if anyone from E. Texas would like to send us a gratuity for bringing this cooler temperature and rain back with us, just send to our home address.  LOL.....

Anyway, today was "Mother-Daughter Eye Doctor Day".  Since Mom and I have the same eye doctor, we always make this doctor visit together and we surprised Mom with Debbie meeting us there!

After the appointment, we ran across the highway (not literally) to Valley View Mall in Dallas.  I felt like we had arrived in the Twilight Zone cause we were practically the only customers in the entire mall.  Although my Sci-Fi side thought it was pretty cool feeling like the entire world had disappeared and we were the only ones left, it was truly freakish.

So Deb and I did what we usually do with our lovely Mom and that is dress her up with the latest winter apparal, as well as show you how we were "stylin" with our special Night-Vision, Undercover Agent (Dilation) Sunglasses our Counterspy eye doctor gave us that we proudly wore all afternoon.

Awwww......such a lucky girl I am to spend my afternoon with my two favorite ladies......
