This State is 2,390 miles from California; 3,850 miles from Japan; 4,900 miles from China; and 5,280 miles from the Philippines. Specifically, it is 4507 miles from Ohio.  Yes.  Paradise.

Where is the dude from Star Trek when you need him?  Beam me up Scotty…. dang it… and do it right now.

And sooooo….. …. here we are….. after a long journey….  back in Ohio….

Returned to the “Every Day” of it all.

Greeted by the rain and the grayest of skies.  At the same time…. we were greeted by a different kind of gray.  The furry kind.

And…. that…. to me…. is all a part of HOME.  Truly …. is the warmest place in the world.
