Monday morsel: home

We arrived home Saturday night after a three-week vacation in PEI with my parents and family.  We had a lovely time:  plenty of sunshine, laughter, relaxing times under the chestnut tree, and ice cream (Peanut Butter Sensation from ADL dairies is my new best friend).

In spite of the great time we had in my childhood home, it also felt really good to get back to our family home in Kingston last night and to putter around this morning with our own stuff and our own routine.  So my small "morsel" for today is this excerpt from the song "Finally Coming Home" by the group Shores of Newfoundland.

And as I walk along
The long and winding road,
I remember every rock and tree
And I don't have far to go.
I'll soon sit in the kitchen
With the family that I know;
Oh, nothing beats the feeling
Of finally coming home.

    Those lyrics are exactly how I feel about coming back to my home, whether from a long trip away or merely a long day of errand running, Jeannie.

      "Be it ever so humble ..." Yes, it's true! Thanks Tim!

      Thanks, Adriana -- looking forward to when you (we) go there too! It'll just become a home-away-from-home for you!!
