We're back in Virginia. We got into Syracuse on schedule yesterday morning. We thought to leave there at noon, but had a 3 hour delay while we searched for the kitty who had disappeared into the woods. Cat and dog in the van, we drove home to VA from 3pm to midnight.

We were so whooped we stopped every hour to swap drivers. We still made good time despite this. We made it home at midnight and slept for 10 hours. Once the sleep-deprived, jet lagged bags under our eyes shrink enough so we can see straight, we'll start working on the house. We've got a few things to do before we rent it out. Stephen's made lots of progress already, before we left for Alaska. But he seems to think we still have LOTS to do. Sigh.

My sisters, Kate and Rebecca will be up this evening toting a bucket of chicken. It'll be nice to have one last visit before we move to The Great Land. It may be a while before we see them again.
