A SWEET BONUS!!

As my sister and I left the Atlanta airport the other day I got the sweet surprise of the fall leaves still being here. I thought they would have mostly been gone by now, but they are not. This picture I took off the back deck of my sisters house this morning, and honestly, it does not hardly even begin to portray the beauty of the Lord's handiwork!! It is such a feast for the eyes!
As I landed in Detroit Friday and got out in the terminal I got the same feeling I get every time I come back - there are so many Americans here!! I know that sounds funny, but it's the feeling you get after being out of the country for a long time, seeing not very many Americans. Not everyone is short and brown with black hair!! And then I feel like about every fourth person I see looks familiar to me - I keep thinking, where do I know that person from, but I think it is just seeing so many facial characteristics that I don't normally see.
It is such a joy to be back home and I so look forward to getting with as many family members friends as I can!!

The leaves in NC are gorgeous this year too. I am sure they look better to you after not seeing them. Love, Lynn
