Back to reality!

I head back to El Paso tomorrow.  I've had a lot of fun while I've been home, but it stinks that it's over so soon.  Jorge and I got a lot of projects done around the house and Shadow is slowly improving from her immediate post-op period.  I spent time with friends and neighbors and made new memories.  The sun came out these past 2 days, but I didn't get a chance to ride my motorcycle.  Oh well!  I filled my time with plenty of other stuff.

Dinner on Friday was loads of fun.  Thank you Erin, Scottie Dog, Peggy, and John for coming over.  I hope you got enough food in your bellies!  I know Shadow enjoyed having her cast signed by all of you.  I would love to be in the vet's office when he sees that on her leg.  Too funny!

Dirty martinis with blue-cheese stuffed olives!  Yummy!

Cheers!

Cigar time.

Erin, you're so cute.  You look like a kid in a candy store!

Glad you could make it, John!

Scottie Dog!

At least I have something to look forward to when I return to El Paso (besides the 90-degree weather).  Mom and Tony are coming at the end of the week.  I can't wait to see them.  It's been far too long since I last saw them.

My youngest niece sang the alphabet song to me yesterday. . .twice!  How cool is that?  You should've heard her, especially when she got to the STU section of the alphabet.  Her voice sounded all gravelly.  Too funny! Keep up the singing, Willow!

For those friends I didn't get a chance to see, I'll be home soon.  I don't know when, but I will keep you posted.

I hope you are all doing well!
