Well, we have returned!  I had planned on sharing a new recipe with you all while I was out, but I was unable to get my laptop to connect to the internet at our hotel.  Frustrating, for sure!

What’s worse is that we came home to find that the recent strong storms flooded our basement in three large areas.  We didn’t lose anything irreplaceable, but we’re worried about what could be lingering in the walls since we didn’t get everything cleaned up and dried out right away because we were on our trip.  We are hoping for the best as far as the house goes, but more rain is in the forecast, so getting everything dried out is going to be a chore.

Most of all, though, I am extremely thankful that all we lost can be replaced in some shape or form.  We still have our (wet!) house.  And more importantly, we still have each other.  There are so many people in much greater need than we are right now, and I am reminded once more to always be thankful!
