Rick's coming home!

I'm picking up Rick from the airport in the evening on 12/12. I'm very excited for him to be here, and if Weezie knew what was going on, I'm sure she'd be exstatic as well. I've told her several times that 'Daddy' is coming home, but I don't think she quite gets it. I've cleaned the house and made sure I left a few groceries in the fridge for when he gets here. I just wanted you all to know that he's going to be here very, very soon (or is already here—depending on when you're reading this).
The North Coast weather has been pleasant lately. It's in the mid-50s most days, but gets pretty chilly at night. In the 30s or so. A couple weekends ago we had a pretty big wind and rain storm. The tree in front of the house across the street is still lying in the yard. It's a vacation home, so I wonder if the owners even know about it.
I don't know how much I'll be able to write before the new year, things at work are REALLY looking busy for the next couple of weeks. I'll even be working on Christmas Eve and Christmas... Oh, well. Just know that I'll be happy anyway because Rick will be here.
