Home again :)

I'm home! (And enjoying rapturous snuggles with the Budster! ♥ )

We had the most fabulous holiday with so many cool/interesting/fabulous experiences - two black bears in Shenandoah, a Space Shuttle in DC, more civil war battlefields than you can shake a stick musket at, truly awesome class V rapids, the Liberty Bell, running up the 'Rocky' steps, dinosaurs!, glorious hiking, covered bridges, pie! - & an [livejournal.com profile] sgamadison, to boot! \o/

I'll make a proper post (with pics) in a few days when I've had time to get sorted out - & get to answering email, comments, etc. Apologies in advance - it's going to take me a while to get caught up.
Oh, & there's all the great fic & art over at [livejournal.com profile] mcshep_match (go, Team Sheppard!) & fic at [livejournal.com profile] sheppard_hc, too! :)

We've come home to some sad news, too, though - my uncle passed away while we were gone. I'd visited him just before we left, but he took a turn for the worse.
The funeral is tomorrow - I'm so glad that at least we're here to say goodbye.

I hope everyone is well & happy. ♥
*hugs*

I'm sorry for your loss, Blue!

On a happier note, I lovedlovedloved you card :D It makes me laugh out loud every time I read it!

So happy you had a great trip and I can't wait to read about it later :)

I bet Buddy is over the moon to have you back!

Thanks, H.
*hugs*

Oh, I'm so glad it arrived!
Yeah, these two good looking guys asked for your address - I didn't think you'd mind as they were really cute (though obviously 'off the market'. *g*)

And we're over the moon to be back with the Budster! ♥ Being away from him is the only bad thing about travelling.

Hope you're happy & still enjoying your summer!

*looks outside* Not sure about the summer part (still grey and dreary weather) but I'm fine :) Started work last week, which was nice and I'm enjoying reading great McShep stories :)

I'm so sorry for your loss. Hugs! I didn't know you were in DC. Next time you swing back across the pond, please drop me an email or LJ message if you'd like to say hi! I'm super close to the Air and Space annex with the Space Shuttle. Small world!

Welcome back! Looking forward to hearing about what seems to have been a wonderful, and fascinating time!

Condolences on the death of your Uncle; you can take comfort, though, that you were able to see him one last time.

*hugs*

Fly-by posting to say I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle. I'm glad you got to see him before you left and that you got home in time for the funeral.

I enjoyed seeing you and Mr. B so much--I'm so glad I was able to share a little bit of my world with you guys. Bet you're glad you're home, though! Bet Buddy is glad too!

You were in the US? How did I miss that? I would have tried to meet up with you, as it seems you were in (or at least near) my neck of the woods! Anyway, glad to hear you had a good time and that you're home safe.
