Welcome Home, Gina

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. That is a beautiful part of the country, however I have not seen it in the Fall-it must be SPECTACULAR! Here in Michigan we have gorgeous Fall colors also and we are enjoying beautiful weather right now. Our weather change comes a few weeks ahead of that in North Carolina, I believe. So-ooooo: we are now being kept busy raking up all those leaves (bags and bags and bags of them) before winter sets in. It really is a fun time of year though, last night (Halloween) we could hear the kids coming down the street ankle deep in crunchy leaves and giggling in expectation of what treat they would get at the next house. It was bittersweet though as (with the terrorism scare) I noticed a huge decline in the number of little ones that were out and about. We mostly had children that knew us and whose parents knew that this was a safe place to stop. Did you notice this in your neighborhood? Anyway, glad your back, my friend.
