THE VOID

I just watched Samuel hop in Papa's old 1991 black Toyota truck and head out the driveway on his way back to North Carolina. It's been a year since he was last home, and the days he's been here seem so few...certainly not enough to satisfy his mom, who loves to have her children at home, at The Farm, with her....

We're all off in our own directions again....

LoriBeth flew back to Maui yesterday morning...

Brett and Betsy should have arrived in Bulgaria by now....

Holiday decorations still adorn the house; however, the drooping boughs on the Christmas tree signal it's time to get it down soon and pack away the angels and Santas who take their places around the house once a year....

Eliza and I are at home alone, wrestling with the thought that tomorrow we start our routine again...and Samuel goes back to work....and Brett and Betsy return to their classes.....and Lori'll be flitting all around Maui....and another year begins anew.

Blessings to all.....
