Two weeks ago, I was able to climb on a plane and head south…back home.  It almost didn’t happen, but I seem to be the most blessed girl in the world since it DID HAPPEN.  It happened, and it was wonderful.  My dear friend, Mary met me at the airport and we drove off to her home for several days of absolutely nothing but happiness [involving lots of giggles, food, drinks and good times].  Her husband was kind enough to put up with our  girly shenanigans for a few days.  These two are truly some of the most kind hearted people you could ever meet.  It was so refreshing to spend some time in their home.
