home, and still sweet home

All is well in Brussels. The home is still standing. The clouds are still overhead. The mist is still misting. The long hallways are still at the Zaventem airport.
It was a fabulous 5 weeks in the US and both Tom and I have an extra 5 pounds to prove it. Oh no! Just in time for Christmas too.
It was pretty funny. We had 2 suitcases each and a carry on each. We looked like we were moving or something. Glad to get those unloaded!
Thanks Natalie and Noel for letting me and Dad come and hang out at your house. Thanks to Isabel for giving us a reason to come! And thanks to Dan & Lara and family for their grueling drive to Ca. and a terrific week-end together!

We found a really good deal on a house in Carmel. It's about the size of a trailor, needs renovating and the asking price is only 1.5 million. But the location is to die for. At those prices, we won't be locating there any time soon. Maybe Austin :) Or maybe we will just enjoy what time we have left in Europe! But just for the record. That is one place I would love to live!

No matter how good vacation is there's always something really nice about going home. I'm glad you had such good time though. It seemed like a perfect vacation.

It was great to have you both here. You were both such a big help and we all miss you... especially Bryn!

You know Kathy lives in Monterey right now. I bet you could have her and her husband Dave's little Studio apartment when they move out.

Jenn....if you ever look here again. Do they own their little studio apartment? Do they love it there. Did your mom and Dad tell you we ran into them in the Houston airport???
