You've probably heard the sayings, "Home is where your heart is"..."Home is where you hang your hat", and "There's no place like home". Well, they're all true for me, but my favorite has to be, "Home is where they love you". I get to go 'home' for a visit this week, and I'm very excited. I was born in North Carolina and spent 40 years of my life in the Tarheel state. That's where my family and friends are, so of course, that is where a huge chunk of my heart is.
Z happens to be out of school on Thursday and Friday(teacher workshops), so we are seizing this opportunity to go down for a long weekend. We'll stay with my parents, who still live in the house that I grew up in. And there's not alot of action going on in this small town with a population of 1000, nor are there many things to see and do, but thats ok too, because I'm going so that I can love up on my mom and dad!! They're in their 70's, been married for 55 years, and they are two of the funniest people I know. My dad is a nut. He gets up in the morning, laughing and joking...he continues this throughout the entire day, and then he goes to bed, the very same way he arose that morning...with a smile on his face. And mom....well...lets just say she does much more than 'humor' dad. She spends most of her day being amused and laughing at him. They are sooooooo cute and I must say they are having way too much fun for their ages!! I miss having them in my physical life on a daily basis, so when we do get together, I'm afraid we would probably embarrass the average person. We tend to be really 'lovey' and extremely silly...but..that's ok. We're still making some good memories, and I definitely don't want any regrets to sneak up on me, one day. No sir...there will probably come a time in my life when I'll be wishing they were here...to embarrass me!
