I’m back. Maybe not so much in mind, but my body is now here in New Jersey instead of the Adirondack Mountains of New York.

My husband just left in a stretch limo bound for Newark airport. Normally his limo service arrives in a battered car which we are never sure is going to reach our destination. When we came back from Las Vegas the limo driver explained to us that one windshield wiper was not working and it was raining heavily on his drive down. Great. I think maybe Rick is really being spirited away to the next Bachelorette interviews without my knowledge. A stretch limo to the airport? Really, come on.

Looking back on the past week, everything about it has been a stretch which I will write more in depth on when my brain decides to let my words wrap around it enough to write. It was wrought with memories, regrets, emotions and so much more. Like I said; I am here in body but my brain is in another place. I feel so strange right now and Rick will gone for a week. Not the best of timing, but it has to be.

While we were gone we had our first snow fall of the season: one inch. We didn’t even have that in upstate New York; just a few brief flurry showers. Last year our first sign of snow was well into the second week of January. What’s to come?

Just a note to the few who comment: I had to turn on the approval feature for comments since the spammers have been hitting my blog really hard over the past week and leaving junk for comments. So sorry, but your comment won’t appear until I approve it. I am tired of 15 or more junk comments. Hey, at least they are comments!

Look for more from me in the next few days.

Well, I am stretched out in the limo, and the traffic is stretched out as far as I can see. So, it will be a stretch to make it to the airport as early as I had hoped.
