Home Again, Home Again

Well, here we are back home again. We spent a lovely week with Sean's family in Denver, complete with much eating, visiting, occasional napping, massages (thanks Dominique!), more eating, more visiting, a quick trip to a super-cool fiber shop in Boulder and yes, you guessed it, even more eating!

It was very strange for both of us to be away from the farm for such an extended time, but thanks to Jesse, our fabulous farm-sitter and my parents, we were able to take the opportunity to celebrate Christmas in Colorado for the first time in several years.

When we left Iowa the temps were in the single digits and when we returned, it was nearly 40°. In between, we missed thunderstorms, snow, ice and heavy fog. In Denver the weather was nearly perfect. The only shortcoming of our trip was, missing out on a side-trip to southern Colorado where Sean's sister and SIL have the most amazing little bakery.

It was a great trip, and a real treat to spend some quality, holiday time with the Skeehan clan, but there is no doubt that it is good to be home.
