I arrived home with the Uhaul at 3:21 pm Friday, after 31 hours on the road. I may as well have stopped at a motel as try to drive straight through, but I was stubborn. I guess being stubborn got me home. Thanks to the dear friends who took care of the cats, greeted me and helped unload, and are taking care of me, and leaving me space to be with myself too.
Online, Angela over at Eclectic Recovery tagged me to tell you 7 random things about me. What a great welcome home, and I am ready to reveal all Seven. First, da rules:

5. My hobby, if I have one, is astrophotography. I am particularly fond of comets. Here's a picture I took an
hour ago of Comet Holmes:
6. I like to chase freight trains, but not to outrun them. I like to take pictures and get stopped at grade-level crossings, and hear those magnificent horns. I took this picture last week in Humboldt, TN, my birth town.
7. I have been a "real" artist since I was 13 years old, when I sold my first drawing, a portrait of my cousin, Sarah. My first collector: her mother, Aunt Martha Sue.

Very cool, Carla. I put my astrograph up over in the country.
Oh, and thanks for the comet. I knew I felt a traveler,
John :)

That's brave of you John. Fun though, I already commented as you will see. I've been loving that comet for a few weeks. Tonight it covers the star, but it is cloudy up here.
