The sky is getting light, the horizon is glowing through the trees as the sun pushes up, casting itself upon another gorgeous winter day. I'm sitting in the window seat on this third last morning before setting off on our half year adventure, thinking of how to describe my feelings about leaving so much behind.
Of course I am excited to think that 24 Stanford students will arrive in the first week of January and Tim's new job as Director of Stanford's Cape Town overseas centre is finally, really going to happen. And I'm excited to be spending this weekend in London with my son, Gareth. And to be seeing my daughter, Nan, and her husband and my grandchildren in Cape Town.
So there is no shortage of things to look forward to and I'm very thankful for that.
I will just miss our neighbors, potluck dinners, all our friends and family, my bridge group, the library book club, our heart group, walks and talks and hikes, and the amazing Sunday evenings at the Station House with Paul Knight and friends.
I just wish there was some way of stepping across the ocean to have a foot in each of these worlds!
Off to pack - - Happy Thanksgiving!
