A quick trip

For those of you who get the Cedar Rapids Gazette and saw the article about Ken and I being in Iowa,..it is true,..we were there. We flew in and spent three weeks sorting out the debris from the Antique shop, doing a complete inventory to figure out what we lost and putting our space back together again. We worked from 7:00 am until 7:00 pm everyday and had to come back to the Czech Republic to relax and recover. Right now we are fighting the jet lag and my body has no idea what time it is or even if it is day or night. It seems to take longer to recover each time we make the trek. We did manage to put our booths back together and the shop is scheduled to re-open this Saturday. It won't be soon enough for us. We have so much merchandise just sitting around.
To all of you who fed us and cared for us during the ordeal,...thanks,.. For those of you that we missed this trip,..we will get together next trip. We may be coming back in the summer, if things go well at the shop.
I have one more week to recover and then I start teaching again. I will be adding a class in Legal English which should be fun. Ken went to the Museum today and has returned to the drawing he was working on.
I must say that I was so glad to leave the Iowa cold. It was 55 F when we landed in Vienna and when we walked up to our door, the daffodils were poking up about an inch. I think I will cut some forsythia tomorrow and try to force them to bloom. Spring can't come soon enough for us!
