it’s time!!
today we begin our journey home to north carolina to celebrate the holidays with my family! i can’t believe that the day is here! though the time has passed quite quickly, i must admit. still, oh, how i have longed to nestle down in my parents’ cabin in the woods. a fire burning in the fireplace. lights twinkling on the tree. sipping on hot chocolate. sounds almost too perfect, huh? well, it’s not perfect, but it is pretty wonderful, especially when i/we haven’t celebrated with my family in 4 years. but, in 24 hours, we’ll be there!
first, we’ve got to move zola (our cat) to lina’s parents’ home (they are babysitting). we’re having a little separation anxiety already. then, i have to work a little bit tonight at the church – we have a traditional english service of lessons & carols. and later on, we hop on a train to stockholm for the night. our plane leaves tomorrow morning!
i’ll be in touch with y’all when i’m stateside! for now, here’s a little song that’s stuck in my head… from a famous north carolina native, james taylor.
The day has finally arrived!!! Have fun 🙂
I LOVE that song! Safe travels and enjoy every minute of your visit, Dear Liz!! xo
I know, good ole JT. So great! Thank you for your well wishes. I’m gonna soak it all up!
Have a safe and wonderful journey! I couldn’t listen to the song because “Spotify” is not available where I am. so I’m off to search it out on youtube!
Happy Trails to you!
Thank you, Louise! Hope you found the song. It’s a good one. 🙂
Önskar er en härlig resa, en riktigt God jul och ett Gott nytt år! Ta hand om varandra och ha det så gott! Kramar.
Tack det samma!! MÃ¥nga kramar!
So glad to hear you’re going home, Liz. Have a great Christmas 🙂
Thank you! It truly feels wonderful to have a chance to be here! Wishing you peace.
