only in the hamptons
What a fabulous weekend. My grandmother seems older than I ever remember her - but that is also probably, because she is turning 90. The travel, the change of pace and all of the people obvious tire her out when it's just her and I, when I am the one usually napping and now she's all out and about. I hope she's having a good time. It feels so good to get the family together after all this time. I missed seeing them, and I quickly am realizing how great my siblings can be. It's been a comfortable, stress free environment, filled with fun felines and family love. It's just good to intentionally take the time and be at a familiar and emotional "home."
This has been the first time I've had in awhile to clear my head, clear my email, clean out of my RSS feeds, write for a hot second and breathe. Something that I've really needed, and luckily, this time has allotted me that breath. My aunt and uncle's place out here is amazing, and I wish that I could go here every other weekend as they do - what a rest! I've been sleeping so well, the sun has tired me out and some long walks on the beach. I took off Thursday and Friday from work, and I am so glad I did. I am sad to have missed Can-Ams tournament, but it sounds like we're losing anyway and that this dinner really was the true celebration of my grandmother. We're here and for the first time in a great deal of time, we do feel like family, and for the first time, really feeling at ease.
Tomorrow is Sunday, but I am hopeful that it won't come.
