Birthday arrival

After another 5 hour drive, I made it home. It seems very different to see the sights, condos and traffic of Charleston after the last few days on the Eastern Shore. It is truly like culture shock. The dogs and husband were very glad to see me. The puppies had grown a lot in a week. Clara's babies are bouncing around. All are eating like pigs. I opened birthday cards and presents. It was a nice welcome home. Hard to believe how tired I am. I did manage to read a little in some new books that came while I was gone. Tomorrow I go back to work and will likely have hundreds of emails to read. I think that it will be fine to put those off until tomorrow though.
