home again, home again, jiggedy jig…
Seen while on my vacation:
- 4 individual times, all in the state of TN, elderly on scooters going down the shoulder of the interstate
- a semi truck sitting on the side of the road with a set of rotund and nearly transluescent female legs hanging out of the driver’s side door, swinging in a way that seemed to be an invitation
- gothic style churches with shady old cemetaries alongside
- moss. lots and lots of moss.
- cano_ies of live oaks, sometimes over bare dirt roads leading to mysterious island locations
- a tree in the midst of a snake and aligator-filled marsh decorated with valentine hearts and a stuffed bear…locally known as “the mystery tree”
- the OCEAN. Oh how I miss that!!
- old friends. new friends. good friends.
- one very cute gentlemanly dog who has a taste for the finer things in life…
- _aintings. art su_ _lies. creation.
- The Holiday
- smart and brave women comfortable in thier own skin
- seafood. granola. raw honey. Scarlett O’hara’s. coffee dark and intense. key lime _ie.
- adirondack chairs
- cresent moons and _alm trees
- one very horridly scary horeshoe crab, stuck on the beach at night
- a room full of la_to_s. (hard word to s_ell without the letter that comes after “o”).
- a summer day a few months early
- one side a mountain dressed for s_ring while the other lagged behind in winter’s bareness
- 3 truckers who honked and I still don’t know why
- 4 little faces running out to greet me, all of them looking somehow older
- 1 very glad daddy sitting on the _orch with a glass of wine for a warm evening chat.
As a friend said, “it’s fun to go and it’s fun to come home”.

Glad you had a good time away. I’m dying to find out how R did while you were gone. Are you all dried up?????

So glad you got to go, glad you got home safe and refreshed. Makes me a little (no alot) envious….would love a few days away. You deserved a break and this sounds like it was tailored made by the ONE who loves you best.

Glad you were able to get away but sorry I didn’t get to see you. Anyway, my big question is… did the trip work? Did your son give you a hard time about nursing him when you returned or was that long enough to make him forget or at least not be so adamant about what he wants? I hope so. Weaning is usually so, so hard.
