The House Was Quiet and The World Was Calm*
by chuckofish
I am back from my travels. I had a fabulous time, but the return trip was arduous. It took about 12 hours to get home because we were delayed in Baltimore–updating the software on the plane (for real?) took much longer than anticipated–modern problems. It was taxing, but daughter #1 and I made it and she even managed to retrieve Mr. Smith from the kennel three hours after closing time.
He was happy to be home and he loved the tri-corner hat chew toy she brought him from Colonial Williamsburg.
Tomorrow I will have a longer post about our visit to Virginia, but for now, this is all I can do.
*Read the poem by Wallace Stevens here.


I’m glad you had a great time — but, ugh, air travel. I sympathize! And I love the tri-corner hat chew toy!!
Yay for a fabulous trip, and so glad you are back safe and sound! I liked the poem, though I read it too quickly and it could use a ponder!
