Well, we are now back in Las Vegas!

Hooray!

We landed late last night and immediately I started to feel . . .

what is that????? . . . . . Grandchild theft-related guilt?

These days there are all manner of technologies designed to keep us close together

in a world that is increasingly keeping us far apart. Unlimited cell phone minutes,

emails and text messages, Skype, Google Chat and FaceTime . . .

but sometimes that all just isn’t good enough.


Some days I long for my in-laws to live near us. I have always been, and will always be

one heck of a homebody. Weirdly, even though I am in my late twenties, and I have a

family of my own now, that home for my which my body still longs seems to be the

home of my dear old mom and dad and my in-laws cozy home.

And aren’t I getting a little too old for this already?

How old is too old to feel homesick? 90? 92?

Oh, good.

We had to surgically remove the two from each other.
