Where is HOME?
...but in your Heart.
...but in your Heart.
I am blessed to be able to call two places HOME...
...last week, I ventured on my yearly jaunt up to my beloved Connecticut...
I visited with Family & Friends,
celebrated my Mom's 80th birthday with her,
ate home-cooked meals

and spent some much needed time with my two sisters,
Sharon & Louisea....

...we shopped, laughed and reminisced...
and together we strengthened our love.

I walked in ancient graveyards
(pics to come),
sat in quiet woods and enjoyed the ocean breeze
...while strolling along the sandy beaches...
I ate lobster rolls
(too many, & that added to MY rolls...)
and brought home a well-stocked supply of oyster stew
(thanks Mom!!)

a place not too far from where I lived in Guilford, CT.
...see them off in the distance?
a whirlwind trip to say the least...
from Stratford to Guilford,

I think once the Blue Ridge Mts. get a hold on you, it's hard to stay away for long!
Glad you had such a nice trip.
Glad to hear you made it home safely & had an enjoyable trip.

Glad you had a good trip. I have visited both of your homes, the SMKY Mts. and CT. Both are such beautiful places, mountains and the sea. It is very hard to make a choice on which is better. Better just to love both. Hope you have a great July 4th.
Home is nice, isn't it?? Those are beautiful pictures... I am glad you had a nice visit with your family.
Home truly is where the heart can rest with comfort. A blessing when our childhood home is still one we can return to. Hope your 4th is a great one! Hugs and blessings...
My sister lives in CT and we have done the Thimble Island boat tour a few times, I only wish I could call one of those little thimbles my own! Right now all I can think of, however, are lobster rolls..thanks a lot!
Both places seem like slices of Heaven.
You are a lucky woman indeed.
