Back Home Again (squared)

Ok so we are Back Home Again. After my wonderful trip to England, Doug and I took another quick trip to Utah. We wanted to visit his parents who were in Utah for a few days. We had a great time in Utah too. We got to see all our kids (except Isaac who is serving a mission). We got to see Doug's parents, his cousin Lynn, a niece and nephew, and his sister Yvonne and her family. It was wonderful to see everybody. We took a new route home and are now Back Home Again.

As has become tradition I published another issue of the Empty Nest Report which documents where we have gone in a comic book type format. But I have stretched my computer skills and put together a movie using the photos we took during our trip. It is a little long - sorry about that. But if you have a few minutes take a peek and I think you might enjoy it.

The SQUARED part in the title is this: our little friend the yellow lab, Shayla, is Back Home Again for another 2 week vacation. Her parents are on another cruise to eastern Europe. So I am once again tied to a pretty detailed schedule to keep her and her tummy happy.

Now I've explained - Back Home Again (squared).

Home Again



I'm home after having a 2 week adventure abroad. My mom and I left September 12th for lovely London. We had a great trip! We stayed with her sister and brother-in-law who are in Gravesend serving a mission. Some of the things we saw were Buckingham Palace, Wimbledon, Tower of London, Windsor Castle, Dover Castle and the Secret War Tunnels, Canterbury Cathedral, Salsbury Cathedral, the Roman Baths, Stonehenge, Hever Castle, the LDS London Temple, with a short side trip to Scotland. We packed a lot into the time we were there and really loved it! I don't know about her but I'm ready to plan our next adventure.





By the way - a new edition of the "Empty Nest Report" is being published for your reading pleasure.
