Tuneful Tuesday Week 99: “Miss Simone”
Tomorrow we say goodbye to our beloved Hobbit Hole. We’ve spent 6.5 years in the adorable servants’ quarters of this 1900’s home but it is time for us to move into our own home…above ground! Packing up all of our possessions and memories has made me nostalgic for all of the time Brighton and I spent in the Hobbit Hole, the laughter and tears we shared, and the life we lived in these rooms. The Hobbit Hole is where we decided we could handle each other’s unique weirdness, where we got engaged, where we got married, where we swing danced in the dining room and watched movie marathons in the living room. The Hobbit Hole was our refuge from the world—where we could hole up and recharge to our introverted hearts’ content. The Hobbit Hole was the first place I’ve ever lived at that truly felt like a home: peaceful, joyful, loving, and safe.
No song is a better representation of all of the emotions I’m feeling than Sara Bareilles’ “Miss Simone.” I don’t know how Sara does it; but her poetic lyrics truly are the soundtrack of my life. Thank you for helping me to say goodbye to the Hobbit Hole as we move into Pemberley. ❤️
