Home Again! Thanks everybody!

We couldn't wait to get into our welcome home hotdish,
so it is already half-eaten in this photo.

Because we came home earlier than we had originally planned (can you blame us? 80 degrees in Shakopee when we arrived), our cable and internet service was still on vacation hold. We called and asked to have it restarted, but so far, nothing. Our snail mail is already here, it was supposed to still be on hold, but our sharp-eyed neighbors spotted the error and took it in (thanks, Tom and Sandy).
We hacked into the neighbor's wifi to make this post. We continue to await the cable co.
We had a wonderful greeting from Laurie, she made us a hot dish (how Minnesotan) and left it with fresh bread and dessert. And to top it off, Missy and Emily left us a nice welcoming floral bouquet. (Thanks, sweethearts, very thoughtful).
Daughter Jennifer dropped by last night; neighbors Mina and John and Wes have welcomed us home. We're getting caught up on all the news. High winds took down a little tree, but the house is still standing, the roof is fine and everything in it still works. Thanks to Hai and Laurie, our house minders.
Now we have to get the newspaper restarted, get the car insurance restarted, appointment for the wooly dog, restock the pantry and so on. But it is great to be home! Thanks everybody. It truly is great to be back.
As always, good to go, great to come home.
