I finally made it home on Tuesday night. The flight home took over 10 exhausting hours and I’m still recovering.
The cats have reacquainted themselves with me after being surprised by my return. It seems Pressie really missed me and managed to lose some weight and luster while I was gone. She seems to be bouncing back now that I’m home, but I’m keeping a close eye on her.
I did manage to get some knitting done during the long flight and I’ll be back with that and more next week. Until then I hope you’ll enjoy this picture I took of an iris outside of the Red Lobster back in Altoona.
Happy Friday everyone! Enjoy your weekend!

Poor Pressie :( Now that you’re back, I’m sure she’ll be OK.
You know, that iris looks like a beautiful painting. Thanks for sharing. Speaking of which, I sent a little ‘welcome home’ something your way.

Glad you made it back ok!

Welcome home. The iris picture is beautiful. We used to have those in our side yard when we lived in Pennsylvania. For some reason my mom called them “flags”.

Boo Hoo you are home and I am here – you forgot to take this ungodly hot weather with you! Glad you got back okay. Big Hugs.

That’s a truly spectacular iris!
I’m sure being home is full of mixed feelings for you; it always was for me. Still, generally I’m glad to get there – eventually.
!0 hours in the air? Ouch :( I’ll bet when you finally stood up at the end of the flight, your fanny smiled!

I know how Pressie feels. Since you have been gone, I have lost some weight and luster as well. Ok, maybe not the weight.
Welcome back!
June 7th, 2008 at 5:36 am
Great iris! Good to hear that you are safely home. Can’t wait to see your new creations! Poor Pressie! Give her a big hug! Hope she will be back to her lusterful self soon!

So nice to get home, huh? That 10 hour flight is why I’ve never been to Hawaii. I think that would kill me.
June 7th, 2008 at 5:45 am
Welcome home. Love all your treasures, can’t wait for the yarn pron.
June 7th, 2008 at 5:50 am
Gorgeous picture as well for colour as for shape.
It must reflect the mood you are in, with all the lovely memories of your trip…
June 7th, 2008 at 5:59 am
You’re home!
I’m so glad you survived that long flight. I hope Pressie feels better now that you’re back. We can’t have kitties losing weight, now can we?

Glad you made it home safely. Sorry to hear about Pressie; isn’t it amazing how strongly they feel about their people? I hope she’ll be back to good health in no time.
June 7th, 2008 at 2:43 pm
Woo Hoo! I’m glad you’re home! The iris is GORGEOUS! All of mine have died back already.
June 7th, 2008 at 4:20 pm
Glad you’re home….take a good while to recover, along with dear Pressie!
But wow, that’s one gorgeous iris!
(((hugs)))
June 7th, 2008 at 7:54 pm
So glad you’re back! I love the photo of the iris….

The blue in that iris is sooooo beautiful. Makes me wish I had a garden. (And that I didn’t kill all plants by looking at them.)
:)

Great picture! Welcome back :-)
June 8th, 2008 at 7:17 am
Welcome home! Have lots of rest and see you next week! ;)
June 8th, 2008 at 8:01 am
That picture is so perfect it looks like a postcard. Gorgeous! Glad you made it home and are adjusting back to Hawaiian life. Give hugs to mom and the kitties for me. :)

Beautiful! Glad you made it home safely.

Ten hours? Yikes! Welcome home! Poor lonely Pressie.
June 10th, 2008 at 2:21 am
I’m glad you’re home safe and sound and that Pressie is recovering from your absence. I hope you come back next year for MSWF. Please keep us posted on your wheel decision.
