HE'S HOME!!! HE'S HOME!

Tom has achieved House...and is now sitting comfortably at the table.

I anticipated his first request -- a glass with three ice cubes so he can pour a bit o' scotch...but I yelled at him first and reminded him not to have anything more than a sip until he's had lunch.

Which I am about to make for Jeri, Tom and I.

Jeri met us here and helped maneuver Tom through the two-level (one half very wet) walk way to the steps, where it became more or less clear sailing.
