(After over two thousand miles on the road and a long vacation, we are all home again.)

I only have the energy to say thanks tonight. 

Thanks to Irene for watering our house plants. 

Thanks to Tom for watering the garden.

Thanks to Steve for watering my office plants.

Thanks to Justin for watching Daisy (our poodle).

Thanks to Melissa for being the best wife ever.

Thanks to Tessa and Hayle for being the best daughters ever.

Thanks to Zachary for being the best traveling companion I could ask for for two thousand miles. And for being the best son ever.

Thanks to my parents, Ivan and Lorraine, for raising me right.

Thanks to my mother-in-law Zona for being a spry, loving and great mom for my wife.

Thanks to the friends I ran into in Perry for keeping the town on the right path.

And thanks to you, dear reader, for reading along and giving your time to the people in your life!
