Good grief—It has been simply forever since I have blogged! What is my problem?? Could it be that I was on the road for 3 weeks???The good news is that I now have my car, was able to visit with Aaron and all my NC friends, helped my sissy pack up a bit, spent some time with my mom and scanned a ton of old pictures and then ended the trip with some time with my father in law, brother in law and sister in law and family! Lovely trip but good to be home with the husband now!!!

Today our container is supposed to arrive—-we will see. They did not call me yesterday to confirm like they promised they would so a quick phone call after 8 this morning will hopefully confirm that the container made it to Cedar Rapids and it is on its way to Mason City this morning. Keeping my fingers crossed since we moved furniture around this morning before Chris left for work to accomodate the new stuff!!! I can’t wait!!! It will be nice to have some things that we picked out special in Australia in our home here!

Some of you will remember the story of the 2 ducks which I named Henry and Maude that visited our pool numerous times when we lived in North Carolina. Wellll……I think they found me again! Yesterday I heard a sound and looked out the window and there they were—waddling through the back yard!!! I quick snapped a picture but Maude must have been going to Kmart to shop or something as she was on the move and Henry was having a hard time keeping up! I love those ducks!!! Think it is them??? I would like to think so!

Well I need to get the day rolling but don’t worry—I am back and I will be keeping you enthralled with my Iowa adventures now!!!
