About once a year I go through kind of a homesick phase...and while I'm not sure if that is the case today, I'm still feeling a bit nostalgic for certain things.
These things (or in some cases, people...) may have been things I saw or did yesterday, but still can't seem to feel a bit lonesome for...
Maybe it's a mid-life crisis or a bit of the blues...but in any event, I miss the following: (in no particular order or level of importance...)
My Grandma (who will be having a birthday very soon!)
