The laundry is done, groceries bought and put away, emails returned or deleted, and all the mail has had a first pass. There are bills to be paid, weeds to pull... All those things that we do on a regular basis add up when we are away. I was happy not to cook for three weeks, while we cruised to Alaska, visited Banff and Lake Louise, and cruised from Montreal to Boston. We're happy to be back on the ranch. Oscar, Pablo, and Hank are happy too!
