Vacation is wonderful, seeing family is (mostly) good….but I can’t wait to go home!

The Deep South is amazing…we’re just a couple hours away from New Orleans, and I’ve had a true Southern Christmas. My first green Christmas! We spent last night in a gorgeous bed and breakfast along the Mississippi River, complete with cannonball lodged in the wall, a remnant of the Civil War. The Great Midwest was just a frontier at that time, so being in an area so steeped with history is absolutely amazing for a history buff like myself! I told Marmot that I think we should give up the Northern life, buy a bed and breakfast and set up shop in the South. He just smiles.

All that aside, I’m ready to go home. I miss my Moo dog, my house, and yes, even my work. A routine is a wonderful thing, and I miss mine. I got a hella dose of my sister-in-law, and well, just prepare yourself for a blog post. Not what I expected, but Belle is still a Southern woman through and through. And meeting more of the extended family, well I learned a lot about the family that I’ve married into!

Hope you all are having a wonderful after-Christmas weekend. I miss you all, I miss my blogging friends, and keeping up with your lives via Google Reader! I’ll ‘talk’ to you all soon…
