I am here

It took me from 8:00am leaving Orosi until 12:08am arriving in Madison. Long, long day. Out of Chicago we were late because there were 2000 extra pounds of fuel on the aircraft. They had to either take it off or 11 of the passengers. When we got to Heather's it was like Christmas with 3 months worth of mail and packages. It is now 1:00am and everything I touch makes noise. I was scolded and had to wait until morning. 
Yesterday was a pretty quiet day. We picked up Kind bars as requested and went to a couple areas to take pictures for an appraisal Kent was doing. Waunakee is the cutest city. I had not been there before.
Dinner was from the Kopp's Deli. They have such a good assortment. We each had something different, mine was Shephard's Pie. We did buy everything for the crockpot chicken, potatoes and green beans. That may be tonight's dinner. We also decided what baking I will do. Heather wants Spritz Cookies. I will also do English Toffee, Mounds Balls, Coconut Macaroons and Muddy Buddies - the gluten free version of Puppy Chow.
We are still working on who will do what for Christmas. I may be doing dressing and garlic mashed potatoes.
I still have some Christmas shopping to do. I did bring guayaba jelly with me to include with the gifts. I also want to make some of the cinnamon bread. I also have shopping to do for things I want to bring back with me. And 6 suitcases to pack up, and business to take care of. Busy week ahead.


Just a tip for you travelers, I take a picture of my suitcase before I leave. That way if it doesn't show up I can easily show what it looks like. Or, if I have baggage handlers they can easily find it. I make sure it has something on it to easily identify it from all the other bags that look just like it.
