Actually, we have been home from Montana for a week now. It was a whirlwind week away that required another week to catch up with things here and recover from all the fun.
Our cats were in the capable care of our daughter. Ruby and Winnie spent their vacation at my parents' house, being spoiled beyond imagination.
How glad were the critters to have us home? You decide ...
Here we were, Dorothy and Winnie and me, watching football, and my husband was fortunate to have his phone at hand to capture the scene. Winnie has never been a lap dog. She prefers to sleep beside her humans ... and she has never tolerated the presence of a cat near her when she's with HER mama ... little resource-guarder that she is.
It's good to be home, and to be here, too. FB peeps saw our Montana adventures as daily posts ... you all will get the whole week all at once ... in a day or so.

ReplyDeleteI totally agree! As much as I love traveling, I love being home even more. Seems ironic that this nomadic, former Army brat is such a home body. (and The Wizard of Oz is one of my all-time favorite movies, too.)
DeleteGlad all was well on your return, and I think your girls agree!!
ReplyDeleteOur daughter keeps things in order very nicely here, but it's not like having their mama at home to maintain our usual routine.
DeleteHope you had fun but glad you are back!
ReplyDeleteYour fur-kids obviously missed you too!
:D
We had more fun than I can adequately describe! I loved being in Montana ... and I REALLY love being home.
DeleteSafe and sound. I guess I'll wait for the rest.
ReplyDeleteYou won't have to wait long.
DeleteI thought of you yesterday, wondering where you were and thinking about not seeing any recent posts. Before I got too worried, I remembered that you were going away somewhere.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a great time and made it home safely.
I'd say your critters missed you 'greatly'. That is a precious photo.
Have a great day ~ FlowerLady
Posting has been a bit more infrequent than it used to be. So much fall stuff to do, and I'm spending my usual early-morning blogging time beating the heat to work in the garden.
DeleteI am very, very glad that my husband had his phone on the end table beside him to capture the scene. Anyone who knows Winnie well would never believe that she shared space (and was on my lap, no less) with a cat, without the photo evidence to prove it.
love this photo....they do miss us when we are away...but soooooo happy when we come home.

Ruby always does exactly the same thing when I go to my parents' to pick her up after being on a trip. She meets me at the door, gives a quick sniff to confirm my identity, then she goes completely bat-sh*t crazy, squealing and yipping and jumping, so glad to see me. Winnie scampers and spins and wiggles all over. It's totally adorable!
DeleteWonderful photo, these two definitely missed you!
ReplyDeleteThis photo is just another example of the wild life that we live here in Hartwood. :)
DeleteWatching football on the sofa, in pajamas, covered with critters. That's my idea of a perfect evening.
Welcome home and what a sweet welcoming crew you had.
ReplyDeleteThank you! Everyone is back to normal now, with our routine and the critters' habits. Last night, Winnie was sleeping beside me on the sofa ... lap time was really nice while I had it.
DeleteWhat a sweet picture. It must be nice that everyone wants to see and will tolerate one another for a bit of your attention. It's another towards their acceptance of each other, right? 😊
ReplyDeleteFall in the the garden is like Spring in the garden--very busy. But what we do now prepares our gardens for Spring too!
This photo is as heart-warming as the one from your vacation. There is so much love around you. You are very blessed, my friend.
ReplyDeleteThe critters look very excited, as are we all, to have you back :-)
