Road Pics

We got in just last night.

Three days on the road. And because we wanted to visit a friend in Indianapolis, the journey back was a bit longer than the trip out-- 1,340 miles.

But yes, we are finally home.

There's so much unpacking, laundry, and just general resettling to do that it's hard to think of what to write here.

I did, however, want you all to know that we're back. That Christmas and the subsequent days of visiting, and eating, and well, yeah-- lots of eating -- were grand.

For now, in leu of a fun, interesting post describing our adventure, I'm sharing a few snaps-- all but the first taken from the car on our journey home. You see, we'd never driven a southerly route back from Boston, thus we'd never seen Southern Pennsylvania, Northern West Virginia and the Ohio valley. (I wish we'd had time to stop so that I could have photographed them properly!)

Oh, and before the photos, just wanted to mention that it seems I've been tagged.... twice. First, several weeks ago by Julia, then while I was away, by Violet. Of course, I will rise to this tagging (sorry for the tardiness, Julia), and post five random facts soon...

In the meantime, I hope everyone had a fabulous holiday, and that blood sugars weren't too crazy (though, not surprising, we had our fair share of this). I look forward to reading about everyone's holiday exploits.

It's good to be back.

Until then, we'd had no snow during our entire visit.


Hours later, driving through the mountains of
Southern PA, a noticable absence of snow...




Green grass? On January 1st?



Incredible...

Driving across Indiana and Southern Illinois,
I heard David Byrne singing over and over...



We’re on a road to nowhere
Come on inside
Takin’ that ride to nowhere
We’ll take that ride
