So we got back home around 9pm tonight, after a very long weekend. It was Kirstin’s first trip to see Grandpa & Grandma Lorenz, and they live about four and a half hours from us. She did very well in the car both ways (for that long a trip), but that length of travel tends to mess with her schedule, so I’m sure it’ll be a longer night than normal tonight.

Anyway, I got to use the camcorder a bit this weekend; more than I’d used it thus far, so that’s cool. I’ll have to transfer some video sometime and see about doing something with it. I managed to also get several still pictures, which I’m about to go through and presumably upload to Flickr tonight (although if it gets to be too many, I’ll do it tomorrow evening).

I’m really getting to be on the tired order, so I’m keeping this fairly short tonight. The more I think about it, the more I’m thinking of uploading pictures tomorrow sometime. But anyway, it stormed a lot this weekend. Our drive home was continuous rain until we were about 25 miles from home, when it finally stopped raining. We also got some bigger storms here at home last night (I can tell). Quite a bit of rain fell, so I’ve got more water coming in through the basement floor. Hopefully it’ll dry up again over the next week or so; that’d be a Good Thing.

But we arrived home tonight to discover that all of the livestock (cats and dogs) were in good shape, although needing some more attention, which is always a pleasant discovery. I’m just glad that I took the recycling in on Friday afternoon and didn’t wait until we got home (what a big mess that’d have been, out in the rain and wet).

Ah well, as I can’t seem to come up with more coherent thoughts, I’m signing off. Until next time…
