This week we were given this beautiful bouquet of deep purple lilacs by our neighbours across the lane. They had no idea that:
a) this is my favourite shade of lilac,
b) lilacs are SUCH a reminder of home, or
c) that our spirits could’ve used the boost that comes with the smell of lilacs filling the room!
With our departure only 3 weeks away… we were a little bit in panic mode this week. But before I get to “panic” let me just talk “purple”…
In less than one month, we’ll be back in North America. It seems a bit surreal and now that we’re under the 1-month mark… things are kicking into a new gear…. somewhere between two -ICs:
ecstat-ic &
pan-ic … 🙂
I’ll get to some of the preparations… but let me tell you about week T-minus-4:
This week we had a special treat…. a visit from long-time friends. The timing was perfect as the boys were on school vacation so there was no need to rush, do the school pick-ups, work through homework, etc. There was just a lot of fun & games as well as some great conversations.
I want to tell you about our life here this week by sharing three-word groupings and I’m already going to have to cheat on #1…
