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.
