Are there WORDS for this?
Are words even necessary for you to understand what this picture is all about and how it makes me feel?
At the end of a very long journey, more than just the past two weeks, more like the journey of the past whole year and even before that ---
Look what I came home to! It’s here! It’s really HERE! And it is even more beautiful than I had hoped for. PDF files just do not do a book justice. You have to hold it in your hands and turn the pages one by one and smell that new-book-smell and study the gorgeous pictures that appear throughout!
And this is how I plan to spend my first evening home after being gone a long long time.
My journey home skirted past all the Midwest Nastiness, having me leave from New Orleans, and arriving in Houston around noon. The best part of that short one hour flight was THIS:
Now THIS is what I call LEG ROOM! I was in the exit row seat 21-F on a 737. Mark this as my favorite seat from now on! Yes, that is my Rick Steves Avanti Rolling Tote pushed clear up under the “seat in front of me” with the featherweight, the kindle, AND the laptop in it. See! It DOES fit!
Like I said…too bad this flight was only an hour long! I could get used to this kind of leg room. 
Houston had a small problem. Flights were delayed coming in because of weather starting to happen there. Dallas airport was closed, people were being re-routed, crews pushing to the point of being over worked. Our crew was short a flight attendant. And since the flight from Houston to Greensboro is an express jet flight, there IS only one flight attendant per plane, so this WAS a problem! We left just over an hour late, but we did get out of there.
My flights today were the bumpiest I have ever been on thanks to this weather system, and I was never so glad to touch down on my home turf!
Tonight? I’m not even bothering to unpack my bags. I made a beeline for the hottub. I’m in my jammies. I’m finishing this post and I’m going to thumb through my new book!
Tomorrow? I’ll start filling all the pre-orders in the order that they were received…Orders will start mailing!
Word Play Quilts is here also! I will be in post office mode over the next 10 days that I am home. Thanks so much for your patience with me --- of COURSE the books would show up when I was out of town for two weeks. That’s just the way the cookie crumbles! But I’m doing everything I can to get them out to you ASAP!
I have that copy of Word Play Quilts as a give away….give me a day or so to wrap my head around everything that is undone over here, and we’ll get THAT underway as well!
