Home Again, Home Again
We spent the weekend in Lake Tahoe (a family wedding). It was a quick trip, but even so, I'm glad to be home. Sometimes I think those "quick" trips are the hardest. Usually we have a specific reason for traveling, rather than just going on vacation, and everything we do seems focused and more intense somehow.

The Lake was lovely, though the air quality wasn't as crystal clear as it normally is -- all those forest fires in California. It was much better than Sacramento, though. When  our plane landed on Friday morning, the smoke was so bad you couldn't see the ground until the plane was almost ready to touch down. We didn't get above it until we were almost at Donner. Still, the wedding was beautiful and the reception was fun.

The cats were glad to see us. Even though we've found a great place to board them that's the equivalent of a feline spa, they were as happy to be home as we were.

Two trips done, two more to go (for me) for the summer. I'll be glad when it's all over.
