Coming Home and Clean Sheets!

What is it about coming home from a trip, however short, and enjoying fresh sheets?  Does anyone else share this obsession?

We were just gone for 14 or so hours yesterday... Sunday... to the outskirts of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and back to the farm.

First thing I did upon returning to our quarters was to start changing sheets!  Poor Gordon... he drove the entire eight hour trip, but knowing his wife's weird ways, he helped with the sheet ritual without complaining!  The sweetie!

It was heavenly to see four English Shepherds and seven little white dogs bound out the front door to greet me on our return (while Gordon parked the van).  My mother and uncle had been puppysitting while we were gone, so they stayed up until we returned. 

Five of the dogs sleep in the old farmhouse at night, and six of the dogs sleep in our little apartment in the studio with us.  We are so well protected! *grin*

Tomorrow, I'll have to show you the new ornament that we unveiled yesterday, and the new brooch that debuted October 6th.  The deadlines have been fast and furious lately.  Lots of work ahead, and two new designs to finish before the end of the year, but we have survived the highest-pressure deadlines!

Aaaahhhh, deadlines successfully met, clean sheets and a doggy love fest!  I'm not sure life gets any better than this! *grin*   

As soon as I deliver a can of tuna to Rosalie (the cat) as a peace offering for not asking her permission before we left the farm today, I'm headed for those pillows!

(Last photo: The other morning, Gordon caught recent rescue Daddles sleeping with her precious head on my neck, softly snoring into my hair.  She is SUCH a good snuggler.)
