Home Time


Last weekend, the 16-18th, Dave struck again.

He gave me 45 minutes to get the house in order and myself packed.

A plane to Spokane was leaving and there was a seat with my name on it.

Trips home without the kids, and without the 12 hour car ride are rare now-a-day.

It was better than ice cream. With sprinkles.

The one full day my mom and I had together we spent shopping, followed by shopping, and a bit more shopping. Oh, and we squeezed in some yummy food and a movie too.

Something happened in the middle of all the spoilage that she was dripping on me. It was a conversation about living.

She told me to live. To really, really, live.

Her thoughts were not a mere suggestion.

They were a map. And the streets. JUICY.
