Just got home.. and its so nice to be here. The dogs were happy to see us and the house looks glad too. 

It was a good vacation this week. good mix of outdoors and family time.. The fires  out in montana made it hard to see stuff far away.. but close up the woods were really nice .. I loved running the woods trails near the house..  It was really nice catching up with the family.. lots of changes.. but mostly we all stay the same. we’re an ecelctic group.. so it’s always interesting. 

it was also a great place to send off max and becky to their new lives in santa fe.. and gabe and raya  for their trip out west and Gabes new life as a grad student…

now I have to re-aquaint myself with my own  bed.. lookign forward to that.

more tomorrow

-nite all, nite sam
