the long journey away from home

home again!

wow!!! i was gone with the kids for almost five wonderful weeks.

our first stop: ocean city, new jersey.
***i***love***the***ocean***
i love the smell... 
the way the sand feels on my feet 
(ok, not so much when it gets in my bathing suit)... 
the sound of the waves... 
ahhhhhh just thinking about it...
my dream is to live by the ocean

after that we went to paradise, pennsylvania
i grew up on a farm there and my parents still live there
the kids LOVE the farm
and so do i!!! (when i was a kid i never thought i'd say that!)
we helped my dad when we could
(or maybe held him up... probably)
the kids tagged along with him every chance they got
i would love for my kids to have the experiences i did growing up on a farm,
but i know that's not gonna happen
this is the next best thing

our last stop was in monroe, new york
(ok, chester or blooming grove or whatever...)
we visited with friends from our time in new york
it was so fabulous to go back... i think it's been about two years
it feels so comfortable there

and now... i'm back... we've been back about a week and i'm still catching up on things around here. been meaning to update here since i got back. i thought i might while i was away, but spent very little time on the computer.

how are YOU? i've got some catching up to do on the journals and blogs i read... hope you are all well. leave me a comment is there is anything i should look for.
