Back on solid ground
This is a view from behind my Grandpa's Retirement Center it's a really beautiful place. It was really nice to see Grandpa, but I am so glad to be home and on Solid ground noAirPlane trips in the near future for me ;) those were horrible. It's good to be home and TGIF. Work was stressful because I had to play Catch up and now I'm looking forward to a nice relaxing weekend of sleeping in late!
