On Friday, our friends leave and we will have one last week to unwind and button things up in preparation for the trip back to Michigan. As much as I love the Keys, as always, I am slightly homesick for Dane and Mickey and the normal routines that 'home' brings. I miss our friends and their kids. I am over fed and under exercised and just generally indulged. Our guests have been loose and understand if I sometimes need to sneak off for a little nap, cuz damn, this is all crazy exhausting! Lola is as lazy as a cut dog, spending her afternoons lolling about in the sun-much the same way as she does at home. But somehow, she seems a little restless.
I can only hope that Michigan will greet me with the snow being melted and my tulips sprouting up. My morning paper will be in the box and I will make my 9:00 ayem gym class. I will cook something. I will limit my cocktail hour to weekends and dessert will not be an everyday thing. I will focus more on writing. I love routines, but can never seem to find that groove here.
Vacations are fabulous, but be it ever so humble-there's no place like home. xoxo

Sorry kiddo. there's still some snow on the ground, with a few more flakes coming this way and by next week we may consistently be in the 30 degree range.
I had a week off a couple weeks back but all the rest from that is used up now.
Home sweet home, indeed.
Getaways are great, as are returns to structured framing. Gotta have a little of both (or some good alternating back and forth) to stay balanced and optimally sane, it seems.
Mark-I heard it was 50 today at home! With the sunshine I plan to bring, it will be perfect by next week. x Charles-Teachers are awesome and I could never do what you do! Erik-That's exactly IT! It's all about balance. I start off good, and then get thrown off with guests and craziness! The routine I like the best is hearing from you three. Y'all are the BEST!! xo
