heading home.....

ok, so we head home early in the morning........we estimate about 15 hours of driving......oy.......hope to get home tomorrow rather than tuesday........my brother-in-law's sister is arriving any minute from new zealand.......i have never met her, despite my long tenure as part of this clan....but as i have never made it to new zealand......i spent and idyllic afternoon doing the crossword puzzle on the deck that overlooks the massive waterfeature....a series of 4 pools that flow from the waterfall into a large pond...complete with koi and a channel catfish.......such a soothing sound.....falling water.......not one thought about anything but my lovely decaf coffee....and the nice breeze.....ha!...if you believe that...i have swamp land to sell..............
