No Place Like It

No place like HOME, that is!  

We had the good fortune to travel home for Spring Break.

If we could use only one word to sum up the trip, it would be GRATITUDE.

We are so grateful for the love and support of family and friends, the time we got to spend reconnecting with everyone, the great sleeps and yummy meals and delicious treats, the wine (!), the laughs and togetherness, the playdates and chances the kids had to see old friends, the help with projects around the farm, the sweet bouquet of flowers on the doorstep, and the many, many other kind and thoughtful gestures that made our time even more special and fun.  

We are also grateful for the incredible surprises, like driving in the driveway to find that our lawn was freshly mowed and the beds in front and the jungle in the back was manicured and tended. (Thank you again neighbors, you know who you are!  That was above and beyond, and we are so appreciative!!) 

But perhaps the biggest surprise of all was when one of our cats that had been missing since last fall turned up in the driveway.  Add to the above our gratitude for the sweet neighbor girl who is willing to take care of her.  Here is the saucy minx pictured below, acting nonchalant, like we had just seen her yesterday.  If cats could talk, I'm sure we'd hear some stories!

We are counting our blessings and sending our heartfelt thanks to friends and family for your continued love and support.  For those of you we missed seeing, we hope to catch up with you next time!
