Yes, we are back. Feels pretty good. Things are fine, the nice folks who stayed in our house in our absence did a great job of keeping the yard going and thus the garden harvesting is beginning in earnest. Yum! Mich is already back to work and we are actually sleeping pretty well. We were both up at 5 am yesterday, but at least we aren’t feeling like zombies all day!

We are totally missing being in France, so we’ve tried to soften the blow by picking up some nice french cheese, a baguette, pouring over travel pics and making Ratatouille, the one french dish I really wanted to have over there that I didn’t get to. Lots of fresh garden veggies in that one! We haven’t popped any corks on the bottles of wine we brought back… maybe because there are only three of ‘em!
