Guess Who Is Home??????

Yesterday morning the weather cooperated and RL finally got home! I was thrilled to death! The kids were excited too and we sat around for a couple of hours listening to the tales of his travels. He brought the above postcard home to me. (Hope it was okay to scan and post!) I had to share the picture. Isn't it beautiful? The man truly knows me since it has a sheep staring at me. He also got one for R with several sheep. Then, I got this:
Isn't it pretty? The fact that he thought to go into a 'wool shop' and buy me some yarn is pretty cool. He brought two skeins of a brownish heather for R of the same brand.

Now L wasn't forgotten in all the souvenirs. Knowing that he probably didn't want yarn, RL brought him back several postcards of castles - which L likes. He also brought back some money - which L really likes! It is amazing to me how low the dollar is to the pound! Kind of sad, actually. We oohed and aahed over the 'pretty money' and tried to figure out how many more skeins of yarn RL could have bought with it. However, we were sadly informed that he couldn't have bought any yarn with it because it was not meant for us!

With all of these great and thoughtful gifts came a weary traveler who is trying to adjust to going to bed five hours later than he is now used to. No matter how weary he is though, I think he is truly happy to be home. I know we are!
