home again

  • Maybe that’s the best part of going away for a vacation
  •  — coming home again.”             
  • ~Madeleine L’Engle
  • I went away from home for a few days. This time it was to the shore, or beach as we call it here in the south. This time it was with six precious friends, sisters in the Lord as we think of ourselves. 
  • Our days began early at sunrise.
  • And would end beyond sunset.

 In between there was much talking and eating and walking the beach. Fun times to fellowship and make memories being together. We had quite a few other things we considered doing, some of those things we did actually do and others things we let simply slip away.

Some stayed the entire week while others, like me, left after a few days. 

I find the veracious quote above to border all of my comings and my goings, whatever my season of life.

Welcome home! I always look forward to being back home and having the memories of a trip. I always say beach, but my husband who was born/raised in Philly, used to say shore. andrea

I definitely like going on little trips and even longer vacations sometimes, but I agree that coming home is really nice.

Lovely photos, and I love that quote too. Although I steer away from women's get-aways, (that's just me personally, no biggy) it sounds like you had a wonderful hiatus! I think that is great. : )

I've been away from the pc lately, we had gone without internet for almost two weeks.

Blessings! ~Amelia

Thank you Andrea. Beach does not sound as romantic to me as shore😊.

You said it well. I am back to my sweet regular life!

And you and your sweet family are able to take both kinds of trips from time to time. Your mother and I shared a room😊.
