home

i'm home!  i got in to atlanta 45 minutes early (how is that possible?) last night, lilly picked me up from the airport and i managed to stay awake until 11:30pm atlanta time.  go me.  woke up at 7:30 this morning full of energy when i really just wanted to sleep in, but it means i've been productive already - laundry, unpacking, grocery list made.  it's good to be home.

it's a little overwhelming thinking about all the things i DIDN'T blog about that happened this summer...it's like i needed an extra hour in every day this summer just to tell you about all the cool stuff i did and saw, particularly in the last two weeks when i was in scotland with my family.  so, for the next couple days i'll bring you a few more photos, hopefully not being repetitive or getting boring...

peaceful church and graveyard* in iffley, near oxford, that i stumbled upon during a long walk one day.  i love this picture - it feels right out of a haunted story...

*i have learned that there is a difference between a graveyard and a cemetery: a graveyard is connected to a church, whereas a cemetery is not.  this is your fun fact for the day.
