“Hi, honey! I’m hoooooome!”
Yeah, The Legal Genealogist knows it’s been a looooong time.
But moving to another state at the same time as a long-planned-long-delayed vacation-and-conference trip to Australia is happening can really put a crimp in a blogger’s schedule.
No, it wasn’t supposed to happen all at once. But it did, and I’d say I’m sorry, except I’m not at all sorry to have:
1. Made new friends in Brisbane, Australia at the start of the trip
2. Seen the iconic Uluru in the middle
3. Said goodbye to Sydney at the end of the trip, and
4. Found this welcoming sight from the deck of my new home in Virginia.
So… we have a lot of catching up to do, in between all the changes that come with a move.
Posts won’t be daily for a while yet.
But the space won’t be quite so dark going forward.
I promise.

Welcome Home !!!
Thanks!
Welcome to Virginia! The view from your deck is beautiful! I’m about 2 hours north of you, but I went to law school at UVA and my daughter is a 1st year there now, so we’ve been visiting regularly. I’m also considering C’ville for retirement, so I’ll be interested to hear how you’re enjoying living there. Again, welcome!
The whole area is beautiful, taxes/insurance costs etc. are a whooooole lot lower than in NJ, and there are a bunch of wineries within 10 minutes of my house. How bad can it be? 🙂
Welcome back cuz. Hope it was all good, but then moving, ugg, how can that be fun
Thanks, Stan! Moving is stressful for sure but was made much less than it would have been otherwise by (1) a terrific moving company and (2) a dearly loved and loving younger sister who took care of my cat for me while I was in Australia and just happened to unpack almost all of my boxes.
Welcome home, Judy. Click your heels together three times….
Thanks, Greg! And yeah… though I do dearly love Australia, there really is no place like home.
We have enjoyed your Australia photos while we waited for you to come back. We can wait a little longer while you get settled. We’ll be here when you’re ready!
Thanks so much!
We all enjoyed your trip (thank you for the wonderful photos). Home is always a great landing spot! I sure hope Clancy is on the road to forgiving you soon.
Welcome back home. It was great to see you in Brisbane and wonderful re-exploring the Northern Territory with you. All the very best for your new home.
Hi Judy…I’ve been in VA for most of my life and from your view, I think you’ll love it. Not quite sure where you are in VA, but you’ve picked a good state in which to live. Virginia is full of history and I know you’ll enjoy all four seasons, different foods to try and places to travel, the stars at night, and the knowledge that you made the right decision. Enjoy and treasure!
Thanks for the welcome. This is my second go-round in the Old Dominion. The first time I lived in NoVa, now I’m in the Blue Ridge region.
Amazing to get your email as I was just wondering if I had lost my connection … !! What wonderful reasons to be missing! A move AND Australia…Lucky you.
….Welcome back
I’d rather not have done them both at the same time, but… 🙂
Glad to read you are home safely. It was great to meet up with in Sydney at the FHDU Conference. Loved all your presentations. Enjoy your new home.
Thanks so much, John!
Welcome to Virginia from Eastern Goochland! We’re almost neighbors LOL
Thanks for the welcome!
Enjoy your new home, Judy! I just loved the Australia photos – one of my most favorite places (love NZ also) – and so glad you were able to get away, moving stress aside.
Do you use a real camera or a phone for the photos?
Thanks for keeping us in the loop.
Thanks for the kind words. I mostly use a “real” camera (Canon 7D II) but occasionally use my cellphone.
Hello from Salt Lake, Utah. The pictures you shared are beautiful. What an amazing experience. Thank you for sharing. Moving can be quite an adventure. Now you get to open a bunch of boxes like Christmas early. Enjoy your new home.
Thanks for the kind words!!
