Back Yard Swings & Thoughts of Home


Well My Loves,

Another Monday is here, the new week begins and I'm right back where I started. The company I work for is having difficulty, they offered to let me work part-time but, the commute into the City just isn't worth it... I can't say I'm devastated, you both know how I felt about working in the City, but it was part of the plan to help us get home. Now, unless something gives, we're just that much further away from making it back. My heart is heavy and I feel like this journey is never ending. The homesick little girl in me wants to sit in the middle of the floor, curled up in a ball and cry until I can't cry anymore, but the strong Southern Woman wants to formulate some incredible plan that miraculously solves everything! I'm not which one is winning, but I'll keep you posted. Enough of my whining...

Candy, you poor Baby! Sounds like life is completely wild right now. I'm glad you've stopped and taken some time to enjoy a few simple pleasures and nourish your soul a bit. When life gets so stressed it's really important to hold on to the little things that give us comfort and a bit of a break from the pressures we face. I know you're dreading the trip alone and leaving MB behind, but she'll have an amazing time with JT! Give them both a big hug for me and my love! You know, it's weird, but I love long drives by myself, I pack some great music, a fabulous coffee and talk to myself... Me, myself and I have some great conversations! I know you'd love to have JC & M go with you, but make it fun for you, use it as a little you time. Stop somewhere fabulous and shop, buy a little something just for you that makes you smile :-) I hope you have a safe and good trip.

I'm sorry to hear about JC, give him & M our love and know that we're praying for all of you. Tell them I'll call soon, I really do have to get better at making the call rounds in the family. It's just so hard when I'm feeling homesick to hear those voices I love the most, sometimes it's almost torture!

Gypsy Girl... That "mater sammich" is just what I need right now! I could almost taste it! Hope you have many sweet Summer memories like that one to enjoy! How's the house hunt going? Any good prospects? I know you'll find the perfect place, it just take time. So, I gathered from your last blog that you have things to tell us... I'm waiting, shoot! Sounds very mysterious and covert... Hmmm... What could it be?? Can't wait to hear all about it. I'm really happy that you're enjoying your time back in the Commune, savoir every minute.

Well, My Darlings, I'm going to think about the perfect backyard swing, lightenin' bugs, glasses of cold sweet tea and all of the things I love and miss most about the South, especially my dear Family.

Until next time, love & miss you so very much!

The One Who Followed Love
