Recovering from "Vacation"

Having arrived home about midnight last night it was a good thing there was no Institute class this morning. Exhaustion had set in so we slept until 7:00 a.m.

After breakfast there were Skype and FaceTime calls to the family. We spoke with all five of our daughters and their families, which is always so fun catching up on what is happening in their lives. Our youngest granddaughter did not seem interested in Skyping at all until we started to sing Happy Birthday to her dad. That brought her right over, not only singing along, but then several more songs.

Since we had been gone for a week there were extra loads of laundry to do. This afternoon it was good to stay home. All those shirts we washed also had to be ironed (9 for Elder and 1 for Sister).

Likewise the grocery list was longer than it has been in quite a while. We cooked several pieces of chicken in the crock pot for fast meals in coming days, as well as prepared Sunday Dinner today. With having six hours of church meetings on the Sunday schedule it works much better to have it prepared ahead.

Having spent the day at home we gave the camera a well deserved rest today, since we took a lot of pictures last week. So here are a few of those bonus pictures from our Thailand adventure. The sign was at a Wat and reads, "PLEASE DO NOT DISTURB OTHERS WITH THE NOISE".
