on the way home
We are sitting at the Houston Airport - we have a long layover. I have been thinking about the weekend. It went by sooo fast! It was wonderful to meet the moms - some I met in years past and some 'new' moms. I am just amazed at how we pick up from where we left off!
The whole weekend was amazing, from the beautiful beach, spacious rooms, to the painting, Shell Island and to parasailing! The Island was particularly meaningful as we let our kids go as sand dollars in the surf. I have to admit that parasailing was a hilite! It has been on my bucket list for years. People look so free up there! It was worth every penny!!
We spent 3 days in New Orleans before the retreat. And we drove back yesterday. What a wonderful city. This morning we had breakfast by Jackson Square. A fellow was playing the trombone and singing. He was really good. His last song, as we were leaving was Louis Armstrong - What a wonderful life. I did shed a tear as it has meaning for me.
We head home in about an hour and a half.
Next year!!! I can't wait.
Lisa: Thank you for being with us. I miss you always and love you forever. Mummy

When I close my eyes I can still feel the hugs, very healing those little devils are. I know it must last a year, in the mean time we will have to do with words. I do hope to see you inbetween.
Sending a very tight hug
