Missing...by Twy's Twavels

Right now, I miss my home...
-my own washing machine
-the cozy fireplace with comfy couches and blankets to snuggle in
-having a sewing machine and fun projects to make with my Children
-the work of cleaning my house
-having a vehicle that I can drive (almost 6 months of not being a driver)
-listening to my Children practice their instruments
-my kitchen...and my fridge...and my induction cook-top
-x-country skiing as a family
-my own bed...my own room...my own pillow and blankets
-grocery shopping where I know what I can buy and how much it should cost
-being able to play a hymn or tune on the piano when I have a spare minute or two
-a house with four bedrooms where we can all have our own space and emotions
-preparing for my summer gardens
-enjoying pumpkin muffins or pumpkin pie whenever we want because there's bags of prepared pumpkin frozen in the freezer
-buying groceries in bulk and not having to think of how much we'll need in the next week or two only because food can't be transported between locations
-going for walks with friends
-watering my house plants (all 43 of them)
-library books...that we can hold and turn pages on

Things I'll miss when we leave Central America...
-fruit, veggies...more fruit and veggies...amazing produce that we buy by the backpack full
-beautiful fresh flowers on the table
-time together with my In-Laws for the past 2 months and having my Children enjoy running over for a game of 'uno' or 'go fish' and meals together
-Spanish...love this language and now hearing my Children speak without hesitation
-having ladies who come and clean our condo weekly
-walking with a purpose to buy food or get to a location
-the tasty ice cream treats
-being creative with our food planning so we use most of what we buy at each location
-the amazing plants and interesting creatures we've experienced
-tasting foods that are typical to the region and new to us
-the curiosity of having another condo and location to explore
-the ways we've learned to cook with the gadgets and items available to us at each different location
-taking taxis, tuk-tuks, private shuttles with a driver and car rentals to get to the next location
-having a small duffle bag of clothes for each person with one season of clothing only
-having time to read, read and read (thankful for Overdrive)
