Six on Sunday

Six reasons I'm glad to be home:

1. I get to sleep in my own bed.
   
2. The TV and the Internet are at my beck and call.
   
3. Likewise the washing machine.
   
4. The cats and I are very happy to see each other.
   
5. We don't have to remember not to drink the tap water. (In Rangeley the tap water comes directly out of the lake. It's clean enough to wash in and even brush our teeth with, but we don't want to drink it.)
   
6. Three bathrooms, no waiting.

We have a lot to look back on, like lakeside spinning and incredible sunsets, in this case complete with a seagull that drove me around the bend soaring and swooping, changing direction on a whim as I tried to get the perfect bird-in-sunset shot. (There are a number of seagulls in residence; they're a long way from the ocean, but they don't seem to care much.)
