The Duck has Landed

I am now back home after having flown in last night. It was a long flight but interesting. I am still trying to find my land legs and am pretty tired. When I got home, I had a good laugh as someone had decorated my door with “Welcome Home Sarah” signs, a big balloon, and licorice. I came in, dropped my stuff, cleared off the bed and crawled into it. This morning I was dizzy as I cleaned my room, not an effect I was expecting from flying and being in airports for 33 hours. When I started feeling better, I bundled up (it’s COLD here!) and ran errands with my friend Deborah who I ran into walking to my car. She happened to come by to drop off my mail, such a nice serendiptious moment. Tonight I went to go hear her play at the Mission Mill event “Magic at the Mill”. The music was beautiful (she’s a violinist) and I really enjoyed seeing the grounds all lit up with a variety of Christmas lights.
