This week I'm thankful for...
- the Portland airport and of all its lovely amenities including local cafes, local bookstores and free Wi-Fi
- the friendly Alaskan bush pilot I met at the airport who regaled me with fascinating tales
- the Hunger Games series and time this week to finish reading the last book
- the feel of my youngest niece slipping her hand into mine
- bedtime readings of "Catching Fire" with my middle school niece and nephew
- laughing so hard with my oldest niece that I almost peed my pants
- exploring a cemetery with my nephews
- suggestions from my oldest niece on how to improve my current disaster of a novel
- the Columbia River
- graceful, white windmills stretching their arms wide over Oregon
- the sound of my husband's voice on the other end of the line
- my nephew's freckled face and the fact that he is enamored with Judy Blume's Fudge books
- wind in my hair
- the tingle of joy as I board the plane that will take me back home
I had a lovely mini-vacation reading this. What a pleasant trip. Welcome "home."
ReplyDeleteI think all the kids and Jeff were very happy to see you and that you gave them your time. I know your Mom was very happy that you went with her.
