Surprise Visit

As some may have noticed, I've been MIA for the last 5 days which is very long for me. Well, here is the reason. I went visit Mimi =) I was able to take a short two day trip to visit and still not go over my allotted days to qualify for my overseas tax break so I did. The fun thing was I didn't tell anyone, including her, so it was a complete surprise. I showed up at the door and to say she was totally surprised and not believing her eyes is a major understatement =)

Thanks to the kindness of a friend who has a vacation home near the MD shore, we left a couple hours after I got in and spent a day and a half at the beach which was very nice and relaxing. Then I headed back.

I'll be done here the first week of Sept...71 days left to go...not that I'm counting or anything. This short little trip will definitely help those days go by faster b/c had I not gone home, it would have been 8 full months apart!
