You have the heart and the eye to see what's best in every place you are - surely you'll find the best in your full-time town now. You have lots of interesting hangouts a short walk down the street - though cobblestoned it's not. Set a good example and declare a moratorium on anything productive on Sundays. You have special friends/family/nephews ten minutes away to spontaneously enjoy. The Yogurt and Jam??? - I got nothing to say. After counting your Swiss blessings - if you're STILL coming - we can't wait to have you back, sweetie. Auntie
ReplyDeleteYou're coming home? I am so happy to know you'll be stateside because I know that eventually we will still travel together on some worldwide adventure and it matters not where the starting point is on that one. But to know that you are much nearer-by now... yay! Pleasepleaseplease lets get together before I have to go back to school this fall. Love you, love me.
