"Home
is the nicest word there is."

We are home.

Ahh... what a good feeling it is
to be back among our
favorite things.
Things like my Lazyboy recliner, my jacuzzi bath
tub,
my own bed, and my internet.

| Goodbye Kansas City! |
We
have been gone for two weeks helping Kdaughter move.
I will miss their neighborhood,
it's walking trails, lakes and
proximity to so many choices you get
when living in the city.
It began with a
major purging of household items, clothes and lots of shoes. I love
it when she purges. I get a new wardrobe complete with matching
shoes, purses and jewelry to bring home with me.
She is a
fashionista
(my word, not hers) and she stays up on the latest looks
and fashions.
I am NOT a fashionista
as shopping and trying on
clothes is my least favorite thing to do.
She makes it so easy for
me and I am so blessed to wear the same size as her. I put this bulletin board on a closet wall to hold some of the jewelry she gave me.
This will be so convenient for me to
find that perfect jewelry piece.
I
went a week without checking emails, reading blogs and staying in
touch with everyone on facebook. We were so busy, and so tired at the
end of the day that I didn't miss it. Now that we are home, I am
enjoying the slower pace, sitting in my Lazyboy, reading my ipad and
catching up with everyone.
We
also celebrated my 56th birthday by going out to a nice
dinner. I wanted Italian and my only experience with Italian food is
the Olive Garden. I love their salad dressing and keep a bottle of
it in my pantry.
Well, Kansas City, Missouri has so many choices in
restaurants, when you say you want to eat Italian food, you have to
choose which Italian restaurant. Kdaughters favorite Italian food is
served at Cascones, a small little place that plays Frank Sinatra
music and serves hot, fresh bread with real butter. Our waiter was a
family member who spoke Italian, real Italian, not our Missouri
version of Italian. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was like
I was actually in Italy, and the service was amazing. We had a fun,
relaxing and delicious evening.
I
am so grateful for the blessings of another year of life.
I thank God
every morning for another day, another 24 hours,
to live my life. He
blesses me so.
