Today we are at our three month mark of living in Hoonah. With the holidays just around the corner, I am definitely in the final count down mode. At the time of this posting, Andrew and I have only seven days until we land in Oregon! We are both very excited about seeing close family and friends. Although, I thought it was cute when I asked Andrew what he wanted to do when we went home, and one of the first things out his mouth was, “Let’s go see everybody at New 10.” That was a surprising addition to the agenda.
Grandma has taken some time to set up a few performances at some retirement home before Christmas. This will be the first year that Andrew will perform some piano pieces, entirely by his choice. (In fact, when we were planning our day, yesterday…making up the list of chores and the list of fun stuff…he clearly indicated that piano and reading should be on the fun stuff list.)
Steve will be home December 20th through January 4th and is looking forward to relaxing, visiting his parents and friends.
Altogether, Andrew and I will be home for a month. We have lots of fun things planned and lots of down time to enjoy. I know the time will go quickly, so I am going to relish every moment!
Next Saturday, I won’t we able to post because I will have just arrived in Medford. So, let’s meet here again December 20th. Until then, join me in refusing to get wrapped up in the materialism and superficiality of the holidays and let's keep it real!
Have a beautiful day!
Big hugs and loves to you all!
