Home...Ahhhhhh

I'm sitting in the dining room with a cup of tea listening to mom practice the piano. It is so refreshing to be here. The smell of my special old house, the feel of aged wood in every room, the creaky swing on the porch, the soft sheets and feather down pillows on my bed, the backyard surrounded by tall Michigan trees. I need this, sometimes. it's nice to come back and see everything that I saw as a child, and also see everything that's new (fun little additions which mom discovers to make this home even more enchanting). Of course, I always accumulate a handful of goodies to take home with me (so far, a very cool new set of measuring spoon style cups, an antique pastry cutter (which I will be using to make buscuits), and an old clock. Today, we will be painting a couple rocking chairs. Tomorrow we go to the farmer's market (and I'm going to buy lots of blueberries!). I hope also to touch bases with two of my most special life-long friends while I'm here. I do miss my Prince Charming and long for him, but am refreshed always by a little time away just to dream of him :) Well, I need to do a little clean up of myself here...so I leave off until next time I'm inspired to chat with you, my few and seldom readers!
