THE GIRLS ARE HOME! They went to shows, they shopped, they ate cheesecake, they shopped, they went site seeing, they shopped, they missed their plane, and, finally, they made it home. Yea for me. People kept asking me if I was enjoying the peace and quiet. No.

Thanks to the kids at Starbucks for breaking up my evenings with friendly banter. Thanks to my Sunday School friends for eating an extended lunch with me on Sunday. Thanks to Chaz for keeping me company. But most of all, thanks to my wife for coming back home. You know, she could have made a run for it. She is a nurse. She can work anywhere. But, no, she is faithful and true and come home to you know who.

Proverbs says God places the lonely in families. Count me in.
