Hang some balloons, lay out the confetti, pull out the party favors, and let's celebrate! There's a party going on right here! We've pulled out all the stops, set out some good Texas BBQ and have a cake decorated with a street sign that says "Open for business!" The detour signs and closed signs have been removed, new signs have been erected, and our street is now in full use! And it looks maaarvelous!

It almost seems odd to see cars moving up and down the main road and the side roads as if they were never closed to begin with. But it looks sooo much better. And it sounds different too with traffic flowing again. Trucks and buses are back on the old route, and parents are using all the roads to drive their kids in to school in the morning, which means less congestion.

And my car is back home! (And the car wash is up and running again.)Yes, the groceries are just feet away from the back door with weekly delivery. And the sun is shining! What a relief to have those things back again that we can almost take for granted. It's funny how when you don't have the convenience of having everything close by, when you get it back, it feels like bliss.

Plus the weather has just been lovely with sunny skies, mild weather with a breeze; and now the Monarch butterflies are migrating. Sitting in my back yard on a bench with my teenager Sarah, chatting about day's events and the election, we could see groups of butterflies flitting from one tree to another. They come in October and stay just a few weeks, and then they are gone. So I'm enjoying the view while I can. I love butterflies, with the Monarch being my favorite.

Won't you join in the celebration?
