Yesterday, I arrived in Oregon to spend the holidays with my family. It's so pleasing to be away from home for a little bit. I arrived early in Portland at 6:30 a.m. and it was still dark, but by the time I got out of the airport, the sun had risen. The first thing I did when I got home was crawl in bed and slept for 9 straight hours, then I went shopping for a bit but I had to go back home because I couldn't deal with traffic, crowds and cold weather, so I went back home, and crashed all over again.
This morning, I was reminded why I love the holidays away from home, gingerbread houses and everything is seasonal even the coffee. I woke up this morning to the great smell of Peet's Holiday Blend coffee, a bold blend of chocolate and berries. I also had slices of Panettone that I found at the World Market. One of my favorite stores second to Trader Joe's.
