We came back yesterday around 10 a.m. We were supposed to arrive the evening before. But after 6 hours of layover in Atlanta, the layover turned to nine hours and then our flight was completely cancelled until the next morning.

We were beyond tired when we got home. It’s so hard to sleep in a COLD airport on uncomfortable airport seats and we only got maybe 3 hours of sleep. We got up for the flight on  Monday morning at 5:30 a.m., which is Sunday evening at 10:30 p.m. CST. We didn’t get to sleep until after midnight and only then for a short while.

But we got home, no luggage was lost and we slept wonderful in our own beds last night. I am still tired and a bit off, so I don’t think you will see new artwork on my blog today.

I did get the new idea book and catalog yesterday and drooled all over the pages. I will definitely put a big order in in July. I can’t wait!

This castle stands in the middle of a little town called Mayen. I have family living there (in the town, not the castle!). The kids and I went to a slate museum underneath and climbed all the way on top of the tower. Like most days of our visit, it rained that day. It started just as we reached the top. It was still a great castle to explore.
