HKG291: 'Twas the Night Before Moving

christmas display in our apartment lobby

...and all through the house

all the creatures were stirring, even the mouse

the suitcases are packed, and lined up with care

all of us excited because we'll soon be THERE

the kiddos are tucked all snug in their beds

while visions of texas dance in their heads

we're all set to tidy and ready to pack

we're ready to leave and get right on back

back to our family and friends, to our dogs and our cat

we have missed all of them so, sometimes we're knocked flat

so back to texas we go, and from hong kong we leave

it's been real, y'all, in ways you would never believe :-)

our adventures are through, and so we are too

we've seen and done so many things new

it's time to go back to the things we've long known

biking, skating, and throwing the dog's bone

back to texas and family and friends all around

back to running and rolling around on the ground

back to queso and 'ritas and yummy fajitas galore

back to playdates and cookouts, book clubs and more

we are not sad to leave our tiny abode

we've had great fun and tried the camode

but it's time to go back to our home so dear

where family and friends are so near

See Y'all Soon!
