Off holiday.

It was so good to get away.

But like always...

It was so good to come home.

Here are some highlights:
- Taking walks. Despite the humidity it was so beautiful there. Lots of green. I love that. And I loved the company.
- Visiting the North Carolina beach. Very different from Southern California beaches. I like theirs better.
- Walking out on the dock and watching the moon swim across the sky.
- Waking up at 4:45 am (their time...1:45 ours) and going to the beach to watch the sunrise. Don't forget this was #1 on my 75 list! That's a big deal!!!
- Shanghai rummy and Pop, the master.
- All of the family I met and will see again very, very soon.
- Asheville, NC and taking a drive on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
- Getting to take pictures of Kaylyn, Brent, and Avenell. (These are coming soon...hopefully Saturday)
- Pedicures and lots and lots and lots of laughing over silly things.
- All the small town shops.
- Getting up early to go to the traditional service. Singing hymns. And being inundated by a group of elderly women afterwards.
- Watching the first 3 episodes of Lost again and being able to pick them apart! (Okay...so maybe these scenes weren't the best to watch before flying home the next day, but a highlight regardless.)
- Slices of heaven. Trust me.
- Getting our flights switched from Atlanta to Cincinnati so we could fly together! (Thank you, Cheryl from Delta Airlines)

As you can see, it was a holiday that will forever be ingrained in my mind. Lots of memories made and lots of affirmation from God regarding things back home.

Next on the list:
A night with the girls.
Photo editing.
A night with the pirates.
A painting to be painted.
School to be started.

It's good to be back, friends...
