I have been incredibly blessed in the past week.
First of all, my mother-in-law (age: 90, status: coolest of the cool) gave us a gift certificate to the Tu Tu' Tun Lodge in southern Oregon, for a Christmas gift. We went there for our luxurious 3-night stay, this past week. WOW! It was gorgeous, in both ambiance and opulance. The weather was immutably the definition of perfection. We got to do whatever we wanted, in total relaxation. That means that we ate, slept, kayaked, hiked, drove down the coast, chatted with amiable folks, read on the deck, swam, basked in the flowery display of the garden, did photography, and much more. Awesome.
I also got to spend some time alone with my husband, there. He was so relaxed (a gift, indeed!) and was a pleasure to 'just be' with. He hardly ever relaxes and he was able to really wind down. It is good to know that we can still spend 'alone time' together and do well. It has been so long that I was beginning to wonder.
I keep being reminded how great my kids are. They are smart, funny, kind, loving, and just plain a hoot to be around.
God's blessings are being showered on me, that is for certain. And how grateful I am!
