We’re Coming Home Soon

Open House — Sat, June 23 — Stop By

In less than four weeks we’ll be back in Pleasanton getting our house in order and returning to a more normal life. While there are many things we look forward to such as drinkable water, toilets that can handle toilet paper, warm showers, consistent internet, laundry machines, or a fully stocked kitchen, what we miss most are friends and family.

We are having an Open House at our place on Saturday, June 23 from 2:00 – 5:00. Very informal so stop by and say hi. Since we have been gone for awhile and you may have forgotten where we live, send me a note and I’ll make sure you can find us.

See how we have changed over the past year from this picture taken the day we left for Cuba (June 10, 2017). And, see the Soap Collection.

  1. Yes, about that soap collection. Too bad we miss each other in London by just a few days. Safe travels home.

  5. I’ve enjoyed following your journey. I remember when we returned home I was filled w such a range of emotions. It’s now 4 years since we returned home and there’s not a day I don’t think of our trip and getting back on the road again.

  7. Congratulations on a successful adventure. We’ve so enjoyed following your progress and appreciated you sharing your stories, insights and fun comments. I hope your boys realize how very lucky they are to have such awesome parents who could afford this time and adventure with them. SO special. I wish we could join you on the 23rd but we’ll be on a camping trip. So here’s an early, “Welcome home!” 🤗

  8. We’d love to see you, welcome you home and hear all about your journeys, but, as usual everything falls at the same time. We will be heading to Chico for Morgan’s Ballet performance on the 23rd. Hopefully we’ll be able to catch up soon… Love Mike & Dee
