Sunday, while in PA, Lily was going to go outside. The temperatures rarely got over 30 degrees, so it was unlike anything Lily had ever seen before. She got all bundled up in everything we brought for her, but even that was insufficient for the sub freezing temps. She borrowed some items – a scarf, some gloves and a hat – to keep warm. Someone handed her a pair of ear muffs which Lily took a hold of and asked, “Why do I need these? It isn’t loud outside.”

Home, Sweet Home
There is something about traveling that truly makes you appreciate home. Don’t get me wrong, we had a nice trip. But it sure feels good to be home.
Both kids were very, very good on the plane. In fact, only now are we seeing any fussiness. Lily went to slept quickly. Leo might be having some ear popping going on still. I am. In fact, I’m practically deaf right now. We didn’t have a problem into Newark, but the arrival into Tampa has my ears all clogged up.
There were many part about our trip I’d like to tell you about. Some I won’t mention. Others will come to me as the days wear on.
The dogs were happy to see us. And Lily was happy to be back in her own bed. As I’m sure I’ll be in a very short while.
Just in case you were checking the calendar – I went to the post office and got my passport Jan 17th. Eleven days ago. My new passport arrived in the mail today. So much for the idea that they’re backed up. Who’d have thought the government could do anything in 11 days.
I don’t want to even think about my week coming up. I’ve got so many things going on and only four days of the week to do it in. We vote tomorrow in Florida. If you are a democrat, you don’t count.
So, I’m done for the night. More tomorrow.
Home
We got off the plane at 4:35, picked up our bag and were on the road at 4;45. Amazing!
Terra firma
Touchdown! Got to get the bag and find the car and then Homeward bound!
All aboard
We are in Newark, minutes from boarding. We flew thru the rental return, ticketing and security. In fact, we were sitting down for lunch next to our gate less than thirty minutes after pulling into the Hertz driveway.
Lily napped most of the way to the airport and Leo has just now fallen asleep. We should be on board in a few minutes.
