Not all has been easy and care free, though. Going back a few months (ok, now over 6), I started dating a young man in Germany. I knew how difficult it was going to be since I had to return to the US. Sebastian and I both agreed with Luther, "Auch wenn ich wüsste, dass morgen die Welt zugrunde geht, würde ich heute noch einen Apfelbaum pflanzen." "If I knew that tomorrow the world would perish, I would still plant an apple tree today." And so getting on the plane came with many tears.
The week before I returned from Germany, death reared it's ugly head and I lost my Ruffie Hunny. More tears. She was 14 and had lived a fabulous Chesapeake life in the country with lots of room to be a dog. For a bit of reminiscing, see My Ruffie Hunny post from last week.

Now, the goal is to post more regularly again. Discipline.
