It was a long drive home alone - with just a few empty thoughts. It was sure nice to be greeted by the wagging tails of the four dog a matics and two teens. While youngest was still happy to see me, we went and bought fruit trees and some gardening things.
From the Big Event, I learned about Geocaching and spent the day with the teens finding our first geocaches today. This happened instead of unpacking from the trip. Youngest found the hardest cache.
It was this evening that I caught first glimpse of dear husband whom I hadn't seen since sunrise on Easter Morning. His job at the well site had gone badly.

I'm glad you're back and geocaching, but so sorry your husband's job did not go well. ((Rev. Sweet))
How is dear husband? Better?
Hi all and thank you for your kind words. Yes, husband is better. He is pretty tired but things are going to work out. In this industry the whole crew gets canned when a job gets messed up.
