Dulcet Blog Symmetry Finally Returns

Yes , it looks like my blog again.      

We returned home Wednesday  afternoon .

The trip was thankfully a mere 4 1/2 hours.

My daughter rocks.

Just when I  think she couldn't  do more to get my respect, she does something even more spectacular !

I could not  have made this trip at the wheel.

I learned many things.

I can make do , I can pack in a hurry and I can keep my cool.

My mother  cannot.

She can do these "things" :

bitch, whine & moan while  sitting  in front of the TV  saying "  It could still change course...", then proceed to pack only her things  at the very last minute.

Seems  the parental units  didn't like so much "togetherness" for 7 days.

Nothing like Tom & I , we loved time like that .

Sure we could annoy each other, but we still found common ground  and  held together when the going got tough.

Even when Steff ate my polish sausage kolache  from the famous  Round Rock Bakery, did I lose my cool ?

No, 'cause there are worse things in this world than the accidental purloining of a flaky/fluffy wrapped meat  snack.

We had a home to return to and we survived the drive there  and back.

Chased inland by a monster storm , several days  of petrified fear as our home's fate lay in  the hands of  some supreme being  ,all the while knowing full well that if not us -then someone else's life would be shattered or taken .

Life  is still basically good ,albeit a little stinkier from the power being off for a week.

Another crisis survived without Tom .

I hope there aren't  too many more in the books for us anytime soon...
