Welcome back Jools!!! Will see you soon:)
Mod
Oh dear! The thought was a great idea but everyone else had the same thought! Hope you can have a good relaxing day today and get re-hydrated:)

Unfortunately I didn't get much readin..."Welcome home Jools! Sounds like you need to put your feet up for a bit and give them some rest. Bet your little dog will be pleased to see you back :)
Have to admit I totally forgot about the bookexpo. DH and I have had some projects underway the last few weekends to try and wrest back some control over our garden. He's away so much that it's been sadly neglected this year.
Hi Carolyn! Sounds like you might need to put your feet up! Nevermind Hawaii is not too far off eh? ;)My little dog was beside herself! She has lost a bit of weight which I thought she might as she won't eat when she's fretting. But she tucked straight into a huge big dinner last night when she got home and has had a good brekky which included her favourite toast this morning ;) I missed her so much, now she is sticking to me like a magnet once more! :D
Sally, sounds like you would have been better off at home having a picnic by the pool!
Welcome back Jools! I'm a wee bit wary today after a lazy (very) day, last night was my 40th birthday dinner. Fun fun! I'll have to post some pics when I'm on the computer.

Michael wrote: "Hi Julie. Great to have you back with us here. It seemed like you're holiday just flew by. :)"Hi Michael, it was just long enough, as much as we loved every bit of it we were all glad to come home to our pets and our own beds. We had six plane flights in 12 days which was more than enough for me as I am not fond of flying :|

Your poor little girl! I bet she was fretting. I bet she'll make the most of letting you spoil her now :)
I am looking forward to our holiday in December even though it's still 6 weeks away. Our garden is looking a lot less like a wilderness after a big weekend of pruning, repotting and weeding. Still a bit to do but at least it's not too embarrassing if we want to have a barbie!

12 days Brenda. Cruising would be nice but we'll be flying. It's basically a week's holiday tacked onto a conference my DH is going to in Honolulu. I've never been there before so it should be fun :)
Mod
Oh that'll be awesome! You'll have lots of free time to explore and shop if DH is in a conference;)

Carolyn wrote: "12 days Brenda. Cruising would be nice but we'll be flying. It's basically a week's holiday tacked onto a conference my DH is going to in Honolulu. I've never been there before so it should be fun :)"My daughter has done that when her other half went to Hawaii for work. The company paid for her ticket and they paid for the kids - little Miss Lily was only 8 weeks old! James was 3. They then extended their stay by a week - they loved it.
There was a tsunami alert while they were there and all the tourists rushed down to the beach to watch for it! All the locals headed for high places. My daughter was on the 10th floor so they just watched tv and kept in touch with me back here in Australia.
The water rose a couple of cms - which was good for the tourists all done by the beach!
Brenda wrote: "You're right there Carolyn:) That's fine Dale - I'm sure Suzanne is happy with lots of wishes:)"Seeing all my AR friends will be the icing on the cake!!!!

Lovely pics Suzanne. Thanks for letting us share your joy.
Did two loads of washing today. Just checked the radar: big green coming my way, so I quickly got it in as the drops started. Luckily we have lines we can put up in the garage....

@Bette, my feet absolutely loved the foot massage! Though they are still very tender on the soles from blisters I got through walking around in [those expensive footcare type] thongs which had a pattern on them that became abrasive with walking! :/
We did have a terrific time though, and would definitely recommend it!
@Veronica, next year I will go with you! ;))
