Turtle at Home


When we got to Hope, B.C. yesterday, we called the kids to say we would be arriving in Burnaby in a couple of hours. Erk. They were in Seattle. There had been a mixup regarding dates.

That being the case, we headed straight for the ferry and got there 20 minutes before the 8:15 sailing. The boat ran a bit late, and by the time we got to the island, disembarked, and drove home, it was 11 p.m.

And what was the first thing I saw when I checked my stack of mail? A postcard from Ireland. Thank you to Premium T. That was a lovely welcome home.

I photographed T's postcard inside an acrylic frame on the vertical, which resulted in this odd, slipped assemblage. I hope you don't mind, T. When I'm feeling less hot and tired, I'll re-do it, without the frame. On the other hand, I'm rather taken with the angles. Hmmm.


Now I must do some serious unpacking, then check to see what the Friday Photo Shootout was - maybe I can do a late entry.

Isn't it? I hope T. doesn't mind my posting it. It just occurred to me I should probably have asked first. Hey, T! (and thanks, Kimmi. It's great to be home. I think I'll go make some coffee in my very own kitchen.)

Rose Marie and Mairi, thank you for the welcome(s). I have missed the Land of Blog. Even when I had a connection, I usually didn't have time to take advantage of it - thus the drive-by posts. I may just crawl into my laptop and not come out for days. ;>)
