Back from the Tundra!


Well, the Amazing Race has nothing on me! In 11 days, I:


  • Drove with Tom to Ocean City, Md., to see kids and grandkids-3 days and cool

  • Drove with Tom to Lancaster, PA to see kids and grandkids-3 days and COLD

  • Drove with Tom to DC to board a plane to Boston to see kids and Grandkids-2 1/2 days and cold and snowy

  • Flew home to SC to kiss the tarmac after feeling the balmy 70-ish temps-PRICELESS!

What a great whirlwind trip I had seeing family. I wish I could have seen them all, but ran out of time. Only family would cause me to leave South Carolina in December to return to the weather that I love to hate. But the time with the kids was SO worth it. To see my kids raising their kids is hard to describe. I am so blessed to see what wonderful parents they are. Their homes are filled with love and all are well and healthy. Playing games, putting together puzzles, eating good food, walking in the snow, browsing in Cambridge, eating pork and sauerkraut on New Year's Day, playing Wii bowling, reading to grandkids and so much more will make for wonderful Chrismas memories. The trip was so worth it, and look forward to doing it again, but in warmer weather!

amazing is right! So glad you made the trip. Many times we will find reasons NOT to do the very thing we know brings us the greatest joy. Glad you were able to push through and create the memories.
