It's a touch of home away from home! To be honest, I was going to wax poetic about a grey day - hot soup, good, Portuguese bread AND the comfort of a lapper to keep touch with the world...but my flash doesn't seem to be working on my phone so this is what you get. My lapper and some really pretty flowers from mom's shop - really lovely smelling ones, I might add. (:
Of things to dread, one is that flight back home...I'm supposed to land close to the 10pm hour and I have work in the morning...that....I'm not looking forward to. I really should have planned for a better time to return home but really? It's not something to dwell on - I'm tapping here from NC where I'm at my parents house visiting for the first time in eight years.
It boggles me, even this morning...how different and yet how the same things can be. To me - everybody looks pretty much the same, which I suppose is really a bit of a compliment cause I'm saying that my parents and Grandma haven't aged a day since I last saw them. But it's more than them...I don't remember the airport being so damn big...the layout threw me for a bit of a turn since i didn't notice any real security area separating the terminals from...everything else...though i suppose there was since it's not like my mom came rushing down to see me....I guess the officer would have had to stop her and what a bugger that would have been - having to her bail her out and all. lol But seriously - they all look good.
The area...it boggles me - I wish i'd been able to take pictures of the ride from the airport. Seeing places like Mcduffie's still around - still the same and yet all this new crap around it...it's somewhat surreal - the more things change, the more they stay the same. The whole ride pretty much went that way, to be honest. Same with the house...pretty much the same - especially my sister's room...I think I spied Blueberry Muffin tucked away with her huge frog collection. It was about 2am so I didn't explore it much beyond that...I'll need to...maybe snap a picture so everybody can be sated on their curiosity as to just what the hell I'm talking about.
I hear my "furry" brother making noise - going to check that out!
Oh wait...I did mention the plane....coming from Atlanta, they packed us into a plane and we're preparing to leave (to the point I'd turned off my phone) when the plane made three bumps. Turns out the hitch or something broke. The guy behind me actually was going into great detail to his seatmate about what was that meant. It only made for a 10 minute delay while the mechanic decided it wasn't going to kill us upon landing...but crikey...lol
