Back Home 
Ahhh… back home again. I enjoy traveling and seeing the world but “there is no place like home”. Jason and Kayla managed not to blow up the house (but then neither one was home) while I was gone. Thank you Kathryn for watching Kayla on the 18th while Jason had duty. And thank you Michele and Kevin for watching the dogs during that time.Of course - thank you Jason for making sure Kayla got up and out to school as well as all the the other million things you do.
It is a pain when I have to go away for business when Jason has duty. He is on the ship for 24 hours. No quick run home to take care of something. Sigh… Hopefully I won’t be away again anytime soon on when Jason has duty. Hope my boss wasn’t serious when he said I might be gone for a whole month.
I do have to admit though that it is nice being away (company owns hotel where we stay) - room, food, and even some entertainment is all payed for by the company. Quiet, no need to discuss who has the remote or what we will watch, don’t need to cook or clean. Well it’s nice for a little while and then you miss your family and home. Oh well - guess you can’t have everything.
