This past week me, my parental unit and my daughter took a quick, impromptu trip to my home state. The home state that happens to be the home state of some really famous people like Elvis Presley, William Faulkner and the Queen of Daytime Television.....Oprah!
Aside from the other "chores" that needed to be attended to on this quick trip, my mother and I decided that after all these years we needed to make the trek to Oprah's old stomping grounds and if nothing else, obtain some photographs for the scrapbook!! Plus, I am sure at some point in Hannah's school career a picture of her at Oprah's childhood church, where she used to recite scripture and poetry, will come in handy for show and tell or a history project of some sort!
It turned out to be a not so fun trip...and that is a tale for another day...but we did get to visit Oprah's road and childhood church !
Also on this trip, I introduced Hannah to one of the joys of country life, picking blueberries! We spent all Thursday morning in the hot June sun picking tons of the most luscious blueberries from two big, gorgeous blueberry bushes. We repeated the ritual later in the evening at yet another beauty of a blueberry bush! All of this meant that I got to spend today putting the sweet berries into quart bags and freezing them for the future...it was a task well worth the effort and there is a blueberry pie sitting on the sideboard right now that is just waiting for me to finish this post and share it with my family!
And speaking of family...can I just say that is was an awesome feeling yesterday to arrive home and then only a few short minutes later be greeted by my wonderfully sweet and handsome hubby! He said he missed his girls -- but there is no way he missed us more than we missed him! It may have taken me 18 years and a lot of trials and tears, but I have finally learned where my home is, and it is here, with him in our little house that love built!It is good to be home and back to the routine...I promise a regular posting schedule will resume this week. I have often said here that this is my therapy, and after a few weeks away from regular "therapy", I am in desperate need of plunging back into it on a steady basis once again!
Living Happily in the Moment!

I found a little sign in the seasonal clearance section of the grocery store: "All because two hearts fell in love." Home is the best destination of all, is it not?!
