Coming home from a trip is always time for R&R (rest and recuperation in our case). We usually get everything unpacked and mostly put away right after we walk in the door. Otherwise, it'd probably stay in the suitcases for months. Our way, things get stashed at least semi-appropriately while we're still too tired to care.
But, at least the wash got done today, so that takes care of that for the week. Betsy called. All the news from her end is about Hurricane Dean. It was headed straight up the Rio Grande River, and, of course, the folks managing her Retirement Center are concerned about the residents, keeping them safe and comfortable. Fortunately for the Valley, the predicted path seems to have dropped farther south. I know that's terrible for the rural areas of Mexico, though. In any case, it still a long way off.
Kate called this afternoon and said they were on the way to Margaret's to pick up a dog. A DOG?????? With Margaret and Bobby living so far out in the country, people are always leaving dogs by the side of the road. And the dogs always know that Margaret and Bobby are total softies in that department, so they show up and hang around. Kate had asked Margaret to be on the lookout for a dog for them. One that seemed suitable finally showed up last week - so Kate and Wayne came down to check her out and possibly take her home. She does look like a nice dog, black-and-tan, mostly hound with some Shepherd - not a puppy, and not too big.
So we invited ourselves, and drove over to Margaret's to eat. Another of their superb meals - that fresh garden stuff is SO good! But we are still so tired, so we didn't stay long. Pulled the ultimate leaving "between dinner and dishes"!

Today's picture was taken during the calliope concert on the Delta Queen. Boy, those things are loud!
