Musing the Wonderment of love

Had a splendid time with the Springang yesterday. Sorry no pictures... BUT Had a beautiful breakfast feast of chocolate pancakes and scrambled eggs with coffee and smiles. Adon was able to join us as well!!! I haven't seen him for around six months... what are the chances that both he and I were in town for Connally's only day off this week? I will never forget that warm little kitchen, with the girls busily cooking and dropping food onto the plates of the three guys around the smallish table, chatting over coffee about school, plans, and life in general. A little family with nothing better to do than be together.
We played one of my favorite games after hearing a wonderful love story before Adon had to skat, but the fun didn't stop there.
"thrown rolls" to eat. It's crazy that through all the years having lived here I never had eaten there before.... I don't know how I missed it; all my family and friends have gone different times. In any case, it's just ironic that now that I don't live here, I go.
To top off the outing we all headed to the new hipster coffee shop down town that Honey now works at. All their coffee comes from Haiti. I had what's called "Haitian Dreams" a latte made with Haitian vanilla... so beautiful to taste!!
We played Apples to Apples and laughed a lot.
Headed home and lazily sat around the apartment and hung for a while before skyping with Connally's sister from a far away land. Oh the wonders of technology.
Thanks God for friends that never fail to bring a smile and a refreshing look at life when I get hung up on one side.

Pit Stop of Life

I am now a professional traveler... it's official. Considering I've just done my first solo major trip/"move". Today I completed the North to Midwest commute in a two day period. Summer is gone like the wind! I can't believe the time is over and school is upon us. I'm only taking a short time in this place that was once home to tie up a few loose ends with my car. Catching up with a few close friends is just a perk of being gone for so long. Has it really been almost three months? And three before that!
I hate to even unpack stuff from my stuffed vehicular device, but I must for a short time since I'm staying a few days. It took me a good day and a half to pack it up from my Summer Home residence and fit it into my poor litt




le "Amy"

This is only the beginning I can tell.
There are going to be many more of these travels... Thank God for traveling mercies.
See if you can keep up!
