My youngest sister, Maria (far right), who lives in Florida is beginning a new season in her life.  So my sister Barb (second from left) and Mama and me decided to take a road trip to love on her for a few days.  And yes, that is the 4 House girls all snuggled together in a queen-size bed....

As you can imagine, I took lots of photos and will share our trip with you the rest of this week.  But today I've got a doctor appointment (no worries, just a follow-up...once those cancer docs get you in, it's kinda like the Mafia or Hotel California...you can never get out.....) and lots of catching up to do, and THEN I can start sorting through my photos.

And I've gotta get ready for my next big adventure!  Kim and I are leaving September 3 for 3 weeks in Africa...oodles to do in 10 short days!  But in case you mighta thought I'd dropped off the edge of the earth, I wanted to let you know that...

...I'm back...for a few days.....
