empty nest chronicles, part 5

I've been back in Ankara for nearly ten days, still a little dazed after saying goodbye to Andy at the airport in Houston, and then getting to talk on the phone with Sam before I boarded.  Now that I'm home the empty nest process has been completed. Thanks to Skype and Facebook we've been able to stay connected, and even enjoy aspects of each other that weren't so evident from just living together.

Despite all our international living, I've rarely been away from my place of residence for as long as two months, and never away from JoNell for a month, so the switch of scenery, plots, and the entire cast of characters has been a little much. But I'm catching up.
