"Don't worry about anything; on the contrary, make your requests known to God by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving. Then God's shalom, passing all understanding, will keep your hearts and minds safe in union with the Messiah Yeshua." Philippians 4:6-7 (CJB)

OK, I know, I know, I am so late in letting everyone in concerning my trip...... I'm finally getting back into a routine, if I haven't visited your blog yet, please forgive me I am trying to visit everyone as I can.
My trip from Indi to Brazil was long and very tiring, but nice. My stay in Brazil was wonderful! Very relaxed and enjoyable. Some people have asked me the best part of my trip.... Seeing family, the food, the people and just spending time with my mom. Every morning she made our coffee and we would drink and talk for about 30 minutes before chores. Every afternoon we had coffee...... and every evening before bed we talked. I miss our sweet talks
She made me all of my favorite dishes and fruit juices, yummy .....I miss graviola, cashew and açai juice. Her lime cake was out of this world. Her turkey was wonderful, (yes, her own and no hormones) Only a Mom can make things so special. It was so hard coming home, I always think if this will be the last time I will ever see her.
Some of pictures.
I met these sweet ladies at the Miami airport, they made my trip a lot nicer. When we arrived in São Paulo the lady in red, paid for my coffee and pastry for I had to exchange my money yet. They were so friendly and kind, what a wonderful welcome I had from them.
My cousin, my brothres and their children Mom and I.

I think it is awesome that you got to have this time with your mom. How special to get all those times with her one on one. (I really miss my mom. I wish I could see her until she was 82, but alas, she passed on at 62 :( ).
Thanks for sharing some of your trip! It looks like you have such a loving family. I am sure it is hard to be so far away from them.
I just got home yesterday also. Not from so far though- only So CA. Got to visit with my family too...very nice and sorely missed.
I was not gone but a minute compared to you yet I cannot believe how hard it is to jump right back in! I am soooo behind!!
Talk soon ((hugs))
I LOVE all your pic's ! Thank you for sharing your trip with us. I can't wait to see more !!!. I think when you are ready I would love to give you a ring ring.
Your mother looks so beautiful for 82. I loved all of the pictures. Your nieces and nephew are so cute. Good looks does run in the family, huh? That must be why everyone thinks we're sisters. LOL. ;o) I am so glad that you were able to make new memories with your family and especially with your mother. Moments like the ones you enjoyed are truly priceless. I'm glad you came back to IN though b/c your friendship to me is priceless too.
Thank you, sweet friend, for sharing these photos. I see the family resemblance, especially you and your mom! Oh and that cake was huge. Did your mom make that cake? Amazing lady! I want to be like her when I am 82. That gives me 42 more years to improve.
