I was born and raised in the Texas hill country and am definitely a Texas girl. I've lived in New Mexico and Kansas, but Texas is definitely home, unless I'm with my parents in Louisiana, then that's home.
What makes my parent's house in Louisiana "home"?
*The marble board made by a a great great great on the table ready for a game between me and Mom
*The plants....so many plants (and they're ALIVE!!)
*Mom and Dad
*Going to the gun range with Dad
*Sleeping in
*A calm and relaxed, stress-free feeling
*Cooking, sewing, shopping with Mom. This visit we finished my son's quilt by tufting it.
*My fur sister, Callie
AND
*ALL THE BOOKS (this shows not even a quarter of the books at home)
This morning we will be doing some cleaning and organizing at my brother's house. He works offshore and isn't home too much, so his house kinda shows it.
A few more days to enjoy the calm and quiet before heading home to get ready for school.
Sincerely,
Reluctant Writer
