Glad To Be Back

Things I like about coming back home to the valley.

            Sleeping in my own bed

            Showering in my own shower in nice hot water

            Seeing old friends and acquaintances again

            Going to computer club and finding that members have stepped in to fill my vacancy during my absence

            Getting a 2005 wallet size calendar from Quips ‘N’ Quotes

I’m sure there are other things but these are the ones that come to mind immediately.
