I'm in Dallas this morning. Well, if we are going to be picky, I am actually in Garland, which is outside of Dallas. The important thing is that I am not at home and that I have gone off, by myself, which is a big treat. By the time you are reading this, my vocal chords will have somehow subtly picked up some inaudible hum in the air and my own soft Texas twang will have somehow errupted out of the deeper recesses of memory. And I too, with the subtle shift in my voice, will also probably display a slight shift in my perceptions, a sublte alteration of being, as some basic familial patterning plays itself out and comes to the fore.
I flew in yesterday, a surprise gift to my mom, whose birthday is Monday. It has been far too long since I have been able to fly in and spend some time with her. This weekend is all about family and mother-daughter time, and I didn't bring my computer with me, although I may finally steal a few minutes here and there and catch up with blogs and email on my handy iPad. Otherwise, I'll be home on Wednesday.
How are you spending your weekend?

What a lovely surprise for your mother–and a great getaway for you! Have a great time!
Sorry it’s a rainy day for you in Dallas! If you have time, you should go by The Woolie Ewe in Plano. Luscious yarns etc. and awesome staff!
Welcome to God’s country! 😉
Have a wonderful visit!
Thanks patti, it has been a great time for both of us
Sewjune, we did go to The Woolie Ewe on Saturday. It is not far from my moms old house in Plano and we had to run over there anyway. It had been a few years since I had been. At least Sunday was pretty and good for tackling some pruning in the yard.
Thank you Lind
Thank you mater, it has been a long time since I have been able to sit back and just enjoy time with my mom.
Wonderful that you could spend time with your mom. Wish her a HB for me. Glad you were able to pick back up that oh-so subtle Texas twang.
Yeah Mark my twang has gotten a lot softer over the years, but at certain times, and with certain words, it still shines. It has been nice to be back in Texas, if only for a bit.
Happy Birthday to Mardel’s Mom! I’m so glad you were able to get away for some mother-daughter time.
I had no idea you used to have a Texas twang :).
