Back home in Georgia

Howdy!

We've been home now almost a week, and we're still not yet settled. Jason brought home his mom's old dining table, 8 chairs, and server, so I've been working to get my mom's furniture unloaded and, last night, put into storage. The problem is that I had dishes, candles, tablecloths, serving pieces, and other memorabilia and ephemera in a china hutch and a buffet, and now I'm down to one storage receptacle. We've been looking for a china hutch on craigslist, but it's hard to judge by a grainy little picture.

Here's a lovely little picture of our goodies we brought home:
From 2009-04-14
Front row, from left, contains 4 bottles of Rudy's sause, 1 of 6 Dublin Dr Peppers, Tad's and Nick's geode slices, my little woven Texas basket, and the boys' hats. Next row has 4 jars of HEB salsa, 4 bottles of Adams' vanilla, and 4 bags of HEB coffee. Finally, the last row shows my recycled HEB Texas wildflower shopping bags, 2 packs of Texas tissue, 3 gold-plated laser cut brass Texas ornaments, 5 woven Texas flag coasters, and my gift from my hubby: my Texas Star welcome plaque that he bought at Tractor Supply. Not pictured are the boys' bandannas (Tad's is cow print, Nick's is traditional navy bandanna print, and Chipper's is the Texas flag), Chip's rubber western diamondback rattlesnake, the three Texas tissue boxes my mom got me, or the 80 pounds of V&V sausage.

We really had a fabulous trip-- probably the best one so far. Sadly, though, that made me a bit more reticent to coming home. Thankfully, we have wonderful friends who make our home here such a joy, and we thank you all for that. Plus, we just couldn't leave Dyno with Roy forever! ;o)

    I love that welcome sign! Your display looks like it belongs in a store by itself. ;-)

    Instead of taking Texas in bits and pieces back to Georgia with you, why don't you just come back to Texas?!! :)

    Your Texas stuff cracks me up! You should see my suitcase when I come back to Prague. :) I'll get to email later. Sorry I didn't have your address. Glad you're safely home!
