Home at last!

How-w-w-w-w can it take longer to drive from SW Portland to north Vancouver than it takes to drive from north Vancouver to Olympia? Simple. Just do it on a Friday afternoon! Oh, Lordy Lordy, I didn't know there were that many cars in OREGON, let alone in Portland. Just before the 4 and 7 year olds began acting up (how much longer till we're there?) I felt like shrieking myself.

WHEN will we get out of our cars and onto bikes or trains or buses or whatever other options we have?

But the weather was great. The Huskies won. The grand-kids were wonderful, totally ignoring me and just enjoying each other. Nice to have someone else doing the cooking and baking. Now, late Sunday evening, with an empty refrigerator, I'm grateful there are 3 eggs to scramble and some crackers.
