That said, there are few things going on that are not normal. First of all I unpacked nearly everything I own and am still working to make places for all of it. Then I purchased several sweaters, very warm sweaters. I have not made quite as much effort to meet friends and see people. I have all year for that.
Today I stopped at a mattress store to look at the mattresses. I had no intentions of paying for delivery or hauling one home in my little car so I made it clear that I was just checking to see what they had to offer. The salesman told me, "It doesn't make any sense to go in and out of stores and not buy anything." I decided there must be better bargains elsewhere that he is afraid I will find. I plan to find them.
And here are a few pictures that I've taken since I returned.
We took Grandpa and Grandma to visit "the store".Just documenting how high the corn is for a friend that wondered.

I enjoyed hanging out with friends this weekend. I'm grateful to have friends that have welcomed me back each summer. Now I'm looking forward to seeing them a bit more than a few weekends a year.
Welcome back to the states, Amy! It's good to find your blog and it will be good to hear your thoughts on re-entry. Hope the adjustments will go well for you. I'm here also now, but just "visiting" this summer. love!Marlene
