long week ending

Our (Freddy and my) l-o-n-g, l-o-n-e-l-y week has ended.  PapaGeek has been in Guatemala with the first international users conference for Living Waters for the World since Friday a week ago.  He's HOME!

 

A little over 50 people stayed in the hinterlands...shared ideas and dreams for the future.  There was internet service, but he's not a chatty one; I would get rather cryptic short messages like 'arrived'; 'slept well' (this one translated: I'm not rooming with the famous snore-er, phew); 'toured today' (was this a tour of a water system? or a touristy tour that I would have loved??); 'love you'.  Yep, we love you, too.

 

So....the knitting closet finally DID get cleaned out (as did several other closets), there was a boatload of knitting done, the Halloween decorations were replaced by Thanksgiving, Freddy and I walked and walked and walked.  Even though I'm the one Freddy loves more than life itself ---his world just wasn't quite right. (I'm cutting him a break here for the chewed needles, patterns, magazines, and phone bill.) Hoping our world now will get back to normal!

 

PapaGeek's world?  It'll never be quite the same!!!!  His brush with fame....

I do not like to be by myself at all and when my husband goes I count the days until the return. I think it has to do with habits and rituals and having someone else in the house beside a dog :) Glad you and Freddy did okay!!

Mike would be so envious, American Pickers is one his 'shows'. I really think he thinks that one day the producers will find us and want to go through all the 'stuff' [ahem, I could use another word] he continually brings home to decorate part of my yard.
Glad you soul mate is home safe and sound.

I LOVE American Pickers! I think it's really cool that those two guys took something they loved doing and made a business out of it. Ahh... to be so brave ... :-D
