We're home!

We left Bangkok on Thursday morning and arrived at Sara's just after midnight on Friday morning, with the time differences our way home, door to door, was about 32 hours. We were shattered. We spent the weekend with Sara and drove from Portland to home Monday morning. For some reason it is taking me a long time to get over the time differences but I am somehow managing. As I write it is Christmas morning. We are meeting the Zinkes for lunch at 1:30 today and we will all come here for dessert. I made pumpkin pie. This morning for breakfast I made biscuits and opened some homemade jam. I opened a quart of canned peaches from our tree and opened some homemade grape juice. It seems appropriate to have homemade things on Christmas, don't know why. I do feel a bit like eating in a restaurant on Christmas day isn't a good thing to do, but Charlynn works and shouldn't have to cook on this time off and I'm so jet lagged I just can't cook. So, we will eat out and not have to cook or clean up.I am so grateful to have friends to spend Christmas with now that you girls are gone. I guess my Christmas wish is to spend next Christmas with one of you! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
