We're Home!

We arrived safely home on Tuesday afternoon about 2:30 pm after the flight from Heathrow to Phoenix. Then, yesterday morning at 7:30 am I had my damaged right little finger joint surgically replaced. Hence, no time to properly finish up! Sorry! A proper ending to follow in about a week when my hand gets unwrapped and I get the use of my right hand back! So thanks for coming with us, and more later! Love to all! m xxx
