Home Sweet Home....via Las Vegas!

Morgan, Henry and Derek at Raising Canes.
Spencer and I. We're Buds!
Oliver loves cups on his head. Silly Kid!

Home again, Home again! I have arrived in the booming metropolis of Rhinelander, WI. (Home of the World Championship Ice Fishing Contest.) It is nice to be here. My parents warmly welcomed me at the airport long past their own bedtimes. They really do love me, don't they?

I got to see five of my favorite people as I had a three hour layover in Vegas. The Hageys came and picked me up from the airport and took me to Raising Canes(They have the best chicken fingers on the planet!). It was a fun side adventure. I always forget that I am the aunt figure and that whatever I say and do will be copied by these little boys. Today it was putting cold drinks on their bellies and putting that same cold drink on the baby's head. For some reason, Oliver loved it. It was a very short meeting but it was nice to see them for an hour and have lunch with them. Spencer was very sad when I left and promply started crying when we got to the airport and I was getting out of the van. He kept saying:"I miss you, Alice!" It is good to be loved by little people! Thanks Hageys!

It was a long day of traveling. I was on three different planes today and the total travel time was eleven hours. It is worth it to be here in 18 degree weather and 13 inches of snow. It is a pretty place, from the inside of our house! I am not looking forward to hiking to church tomorrow. Ah, the Northwoods.

Well, it is late and I need to sleep. It is good to be home.
