back in the USA

my sister Margaret and hubby Ryan have made it back home from Chile (only to be leaving for London next month)! i had an image of poor Margaret going down on her knees and kissing the tarmac when the plane landed. it's not quite that dramatic, but i hear she is very happy to be back. they are traveling about for two weeks, visiting family (including a two day stop in Savannah for some R&R) before going to NYC for about a month, then it's off to London for a few years. mom and i are really looking forward to having them so much closer. now, if only we could get brother Thomas to visit...i do know a young Swedish hottie who seems to be really interested in mom's description of her nearest and dearest. hmmm....
