A short sum-up: life was crazy, then I wrapped everything up and headed to South Carolina, so anxious to meet up with all those velvety sisters and mother I adore. There is nothing like an “MFME” trip with your mom and sisters to buoy you up in every way you…

(There are links to all the rest of the MFME posts at the end of this post.) After Austria we drove and drove to get to Munich where our flights home were taking off the next day. This was probably our longest leg of driving. Let’s take a look at…

My Mom and sisters came to visit the desert a couple weeks ago. Oh how I adore these women. It’s like Christmas morning when we get together…serious therapy for my soul. Let’s just pretend that my mother was actually placed better in that picture up there…she needs to be…
