Okay, a diversion from the usual politcal rants. I just had a lovely evening -- dinner with the folks, babysitting my two nieces with their grandparents, then an evening of great conversation with a very clever fellow to whom I've taken quite a shining. Does life get much better? Tonight my prayers will be a little more enthusiastic in the Thanks department...
In my 40... okay... 41 years of living, I've never quite understood how people can grow so far from their families. My Dad and I had years of squabbling but now that we're both fairly responsible adults, we are best buddies. My Mom's such a sweetie. Oh, and she's pretty much always right and it took this long to figure that out. ;-) There's just nothing better than living back here in Louisville so I can be a mere 10 minute drive to be with them.
Excuse me for waxing nostalgic but, when I lived 3,000 miles from them, I missed them a lot. Didn't get to be around for the day-to-day moments of living that truly do make up a life. I'm so grateful to be back where I belong -- Red state, Right-thinking folks, and a precious, precious family!
