You always paint a beautiful picture of what you've seen and experienced there, Daisy, but what a love letter to this place we call Home! The hugs will come at you with no warning when you're back!

There only one thing I miss, Daisy. And that would be you... hurry home for humongous hugs.

Oh Daisy, I so identify. I was in the US for most of 1993 and, although entranced by most of the experiences, I missed the familiar Saffer stuff. I missed Saffers, fresh air in cars and bedroom windows open at night, no air conditioning, hugs, warmth, real conversations without the pretend I’m fine stuff. Can’t wait to give you a very big hug!
