Excursions with the sisters to Dubai, Singapore, and Bangkok surely made this winter a unique one. We have also taken some local trips. Moreover, Jay and I have a final jaunt to Sri Lanka's southern beaches this upcoming week.
But looking back on the winter, I'll remember how easy it was to sit in a chair on the front breezeway and listen to the birds and watch the wildlife. The whole property would soon be a jungle if not cut back. I've been visiting this house since Jay had it built for his family in 1986. Of course, we've spent many more hours in the Middle East and in the apartment in Canada. However, this house has always been a home to me.
