On a Midnight Train to Georgia ~


I'm no Gladys, but I can add a bit of soul to this good ol' song when I dig deep and just let it all out.  And for the past few days, with my sorry attempts at vocals, I've been singing to the crumb.  She now believes we are going on a train.  Somehow, I don't think she will be disappointed when we board a plane instead; she loves to fly.  She wakes up every day ready "to go places".  And places we shall go ~

So my dear lovelies, I'm signing off until the end of the month.  Reverie is going to rest while this Georgia Peach sips iced tea {and coffee} from the front porch, celebrates my favorite niece turning 5, chases fireflies, reads a pile of books, and completely enjoys just being present without any agenda attached.  

Wishing all of you a wonderful August and may you soak up the remaining bits of summer with intense bliss.

    I will miss you leaps and bounds while you're gone, but I hope you enjoy every moment down south. Happy August, Melissa!

    I am just returning from a 3 week sign off (partially in your neck-of-the-woods, as you know), and it has been marvelous.

    Upon return last week, I just couldn't bring myself to sit in front of my computer... not with 2 cuties asking, "What are we going to do today??"

    Enjoy your break :).

    I know you and the little Crumb will enjoy every single moment with your family! And best of all, you can leisurely soak everything in. Have a safe trip, and I hope Gaia thoroughly enjoys the plane ride.
