Home!

How to tell you are home from vacation, a useful guide:

• There are two dogs in your lap.  They must both be petted.  Continuously.  And if you pause to talk, they both lick you.  In the nose. 
• You have a cold. 
• There are four baskets of laundry lined up by the washer. 
• You see sports you understand on the television. 
• Your kid who is home hugs you.  The kid who is not home texts you. 
• You have taken no photos today.
• You are grateful.
