Here We Are

August 12th, 2010, by
Hearth and Home

My mom, dad and brother visited this week and left this afternoon.  We had a lovely visit, but as always, it is hard to say goodbye again, and I’m left feeling a little melancholy and forlorn.  Suddenly the idea of raising a family here in Tennessee (away from my native Mississippi) seems so lonely.  But this is the place we have happened upon, and here we are.  It’s storming outside and Jesse is playing music in here.  Here we are, for the time being–our little family, trying to make a house a home.

As Marilla Cuthbert would be quick to remind us, those who soar to the highest heights also plunge to the deepest depths.  Maybe some plum puffs will soothe my downcast spirits.  :)

Love from a forlorn Rabbit Wife,

Mary Ann

 

  • Jesse

    I hope your spirits rise soon!

  • Christin

    I love, love love, the picture of the cat!!

  • Tabi

    Mary Ann, whenever you take a long trip down this way, you are sooooo welcome to decorate my house. And maybe thinking of the warm wishes and tender thoughts sent up from Chile will help ease the sadness, too.

    Im sending some family love your way. If your ever in need of some family time, you can come join ours. We would love to have you both, but I must warn you our family is a little on the crazy side. However we are never boring. BTW love that your already reading homeschooling books. You are going to make an awesome mom some day.

    Your cat looks kind of like jesse… I hope your spirits rise soon. Oh, and after you decorate tabi’s house in chile, you can stop by Ecuador and decorate our house too! (once we buy one, of course…)
