Vacation is over. Now I have to work again.

No fun.

After some tears (yeah, I’m a big ol’ baby) and a long nap, I felt better yesterday. My house was awful quiet last night though. The boys didn’t have anyone to show out for, so there was no more teasing followed by loud bursts of anger. And funny how all the farting and burping just stopped. Ugh. Boys.

Grant messaged me this morning that they made it home safe and sound. He’s heading around to visit with his mates today and I’m sure he’ll be out for a night on the town. Not that he parties. Nope, he’s a good lad who only drinks the occasional Mountain Dew. (won’t be having that anymore, will ya laddie?)

Only one more lad is left. Captain Barnard is still in Nebraska but he will be heading to Memphis next week before he flies home. If things work out, Fishdog and I will be taking the Captain out for dinner. I’m sure we’ll go to Hooters since that seems to be a laddie favorite. *rolling eyes* It won’t matter where we go, a night out with Captain is like no other…and if you don’t believe that, just ask him.

The Leckie family traveled to America from Scotland because their wee boy had been here for six months. Having him here was a great excuse to hop across that pond and take a gander at our larger than life country.

Here are some pics from our time at Graceland.

And a few more:

While the Leckies were here, we also traveled to Tupelo, MS to see the birthplace of Elvis:

Grant had his picture taken next to a statue of Elvis…what an unfortnate hand placement. LOL

I’m trying hard not to be sad. Grant was so excited to go home to see his mates and the rest of his family. And he’ll even be back in America next spring, so I know I’ll see him again. But it’s actually harder sending him home now that I’ve met his parents. To borrow a phrase from Grant, they were tremendous! I loved them and now I can’t wait until I can visit with them again. Better start planning my trip now!

My new family leaves in a couple of hours and I’m sad.

Grant, Anne, and Brian
Aren’t they the cutest family ever? I’m really going to miss them. I can’t believe it’s already been five days! Thank God I took today off. Grant kept forcing beer into my hands until the wee hours of the morning and I’m a bit wobbly this morning.

I’ll post pics of Graceland and of Elvis’s birthplace soon.

Here’s a pic of the two mums:
Goodbye Leckie family, you’ll be missed.

Yes, I live in Oxford, MS home of the Ole Miss Rebels. But I’m a HAWG fan through and through.

And today, my Piggies are playing Ole Miss in Fayetteville.

Go Hogs! Kick some Rebel ass!

(Grant is wearing his Razorback shirt, even though he’s a Huskers fan now. Ain’t that sweet? Makes a mum proud.)

Well, their 9 hour drive turned into about an 11 hour drive due to traffic in Nashville and some awful weather, but wee Grant and his charming parents did make it safely to Oxford last night.

It was great meeting Anne and Brian and having Grant back in the house. (though, I think he was a little overwhelmed with two mums in the same room. LOL) His real mum told him he was lucky to have two mums…

I think we’re going to take a tour of Memphis today. Graceland, The Pink Palace, maybe the Memphis Zoo. Should be a good time.
