Most of the day has been a bit of a jetlagged haze. I am so glad to be home and to be back with my family. Sarah was already at work and Parker was at a Merit Badge Clinic by the time I woke up so it was fun to have some time with Shari and Courtney. Shari had a big Primary Activity Day today so Courtney went with her to help her out. I had to get caught up on all the mail, banking, etc., and had to run a few errands.
Mark and Elaine called to see if we wanted to go to dinner, so we went with them to Lombard to the Weber Grill in Lombard. It was awesome as always. For a place that specializes in grilled stuff, they have the best mashed sweet potatoes on the planet! It was fun to be with friends.

Finally, tonight is the NNHS Senior Celebration and Sarah won't be back until tomorrow morning. This is a huge event out here. The school is transformed into a playground for the Seniors. Businesses throughout the community donate all manner of stuff - food, goods, services - Sarah has a massage scheduled for 130AM(!) and the kids are not permitted to leave until 5AM. It's a great event - the kids' cars are valet parked, they turn in their car keys, and it's well-chaperoned. It's a good event.
This does signal another step in my oldest child's transition out of the casa. The calendar is filling up with activities like these from now until her graduation in just over a month.
OH! Blessed be the DVR! I watched the new episode of "The Office." To say that it was agonizingly funny would be an understatement. It was worth the pain of the writer's strike!

I was in tears watching The Office last week. Can't wait for tonight. Jan was hilarious. John likes the show but I don't think he enjoys it nearly as much as I do. Glad you're back in the USA.
