Fly away...



"Fly Away"


It's been a whirlwind week.  Part of my daily routine had to fall by the wayside.  That included my blog.  Thing #2 flew into Philly for her spring break from high school teaching, to accomplish some wedding "stuff".  It was a week of wedding power planning.  Admittedly, not the most relaxed way to plan a wedding.  But it's our reality unfortunately.  Wedding Shower, invitations addressed and mailed, a visit with the florist, dress fitting #2, cake tasting (yum), meetings at the venue with the caterer, photographer and wedding planner.  Oh yeah...and breathing, occasionally.

Thing #2 flies back to Cincy today.  I refuse to say she flies back home.  Because I will forever define "home" as here with me.  Sorry.  Of course, I will let Thing #2 have her own definition of "home".  But someday, when she is lucky enough to have a daughter of her own...she will understand she was wrong, haha.

So fly away Thing #2.  Safe travels.  And I will see you back "home" in a few months...before the wedding.  Hopefully, I will have a dress by then. Seriously, the mom-of-the-bride should NOT have more problems settling on a dress than the BRIDE!



Here's where I "link up" today.

Please join me on Sundays for Song-ography.
This week's song title is the Beatle's "All You Need Is Love".
