“Remember what Bilbo used to say: It’s a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don’t keep your feet, there’s no knowing where you might be swept off to.” – JRR Tolkien

I’ve been swept off to Bermuda with my Sister and some of her extended family.  We are in celebration of Honey and each other.  Finally at that wonderful moment when the celebration of life replaces mourning a life.  We had exactly the wonderful time you would expect with laughter and poignant moments and oh yes more laughter.

The only reason I’m able to be swept away is the trust I have in the people who watch over the day-to-day of my life while I’m gone.  That the Girls have their Uncle Pete from the Furry Godmother is a blessing to them and to me.

For the short time I’m away I can truly be away, my gratitude is unending for our ever present Aunt Muriel and Aunt Martina who watch over us with the love of family.  I would be lost without them on so many levels.

And so it is with a light heart that I can enjoy my Sister and her family with not a care of what I’ll come back to, because I know like I know that it will be our ordinary, just the way I left it, couldn’t be better life on Stowe Ln.
