back safe, home again

Ahhh...Greece. It was so worth the 23 hours of travel it took us to get home yesterday. I have so much to show and tell, things like olives at breakfast and sleeping under an umbrella by the Aegean, but for now it's enough to have the early morning house to myself (my body thinks it's noon still) with Neel and Callum sleeping upstairs. Lucy is dogging (get it?) my every step, the crepe myrtle is blooming (!), and I didn't miss the hydrangeas (!), and our golden rain tree out front is deep yellow, showing me that color comes earlier to Virginia, compared to the same trees that line the streets of Athens.

More stories and pictures soon, bu for now I'm going to look up a recipe for frappe, buy a new Greek cookbook, and have a look at this which came while I was gone...and generally try to figure out how to make my life more Greek...

You're making me very envious! Can't wait to see the photos. We're off to our usual vacation destination in Turkey in August, but the big countdown is to the birth of my first grandchild (9 days if he's on time) rather than to our annual trip.

I'm glad you had a great trip...I can't wait to hear all about it!
