What a great trip I had! and my stress lifted away due to sweet felines surrounding me.....
This little old lady is Scarlett....she has been a part of our family for 15 years next month (her birthday is on my wedding anniversary!) She is a chartreux kitty, little chirps instead of meows, her body has some wear and tear, but she still gets around pretty good for her age. She is ever so sweet, gentle, and she is on borrowed time, so I must make all visits with her as memorable as possible. I remember leaving for college, and when i returned home after a couple of weeks, she punished me by not coming anywhere near me....but now whenever I return from a 300 mile drive, she is just so happy to see me and is the first to welcome me home from a long journey.
Here is Ashes, he is pretty sweet too...he always looks after Scarlett.
Here is Whispers. He is the brother of Ashes (litter mate) and he reminds me of a cat I once had that looked just like him. 
This is Malcolm, my mom's pride and joy...he is a mainecoon cat who lives strictly indoors. I found him back in Manhattan, KS abandoned as a 3-4 week old kitten, I took him here to my parent's house, and he was nursed back to health and then he adopted my family, he isn't too smitten with me, but after 3-4 days, he and I start to really get along....he is very territorial when it comes to my mom (she is all his)...
Here is Shiloh....very shy, I was surprised to get this good of a picture of her, she will be 10 this summer, and she is a good pal of Scarlett's...
Here is the little boy that stole my heart, this is Buster, or I like to call him "Bust-a-Must"...he is the little brother of Ashes and Whispers (different litter, but same mother and father who are both gone now)....this little fella and I bonded hardcore! He snuggles with me, plays with me, chases me, and had lots of fun with my luggage! what a stinker!
And of course while visiting my family, my sister and I head to the only goodwill in my hometown, and wouldn't you know it, I hit the vintage linens jackpot! I could never find anything in Lincoln! here they all are line drying in my mum's beautiful rose garden!
All in all, it was a great time, got to see my family, my grandparents, a friend, and had lots of fun with tons of kitties!

Sounds like a perfect trip, Lauren! The kitties are precious- especially that little Buster. Glad you are back home :)
Missed you, but it sounds like a lovely vacation! Sometimes the soul needs to reconnect with home.
I'm so glad you had a lovely time. There's no place quite like home...
jennie- buster is precious indeed, I was very close to just taking him home with me, but I know he belongs with my parents and sister and he is in a good home anyhow, he will always be there awaiting my returns!
georgia-i hear you on that! I haven't been home since xmas, and I was long overdue for another visit...
jenny-haha it would of been nice like in the wixard of oz to tap my heels twice and get there in 2 seconds instead of 3 1/2 hours! but it was good to be back for a week...
