‘Mid pleasures and palaces
Though we may roam,
Be it ever so humble,
There’s no place like home.

A charm from the skies
Seems to hallow us there,
Which seek thro’ the world,
Is ne’er met with elsewhere.
Home, home, sweet sweet home,
There’s no place like home.
~Excerpted lyrics from a song written by
Christopher D. Gates,
Jeremy Matthew Mitchell,
and Phillip Owen
We had a lovely visit with our daughter and her family and made in home safely. As always, even a short trip away always reminds me that there truly is no place like home.
By wisdom a house is built, and through understanding it is established; through knowledge its rooms are filled with rare and beautiful treasures. ~Proverbs 24:3-4 ✝

I grew up with that poem and never knew the name of the author. It is a nice warm comforting sort of poem, don’t you think? Thanks again Natalie.

he’s going to be a roller coaster most likely throughout adolescents I fear…but I believe in my heart that he will come out on the other side—and Nikki and Chris will get their son back!

Welcome home Natalie. I miss having a house of my own to nest and create that deep comfort. And yet, I’m enjoying my freedom of living simply with few ties. Mostly I miss my gardens.

Thanks Brad! Oh I love that description Brad. A home is a nest and place of deep comfort for sure‼️ I don’t think I could ever give up my home or gardens! I would surely perish from too great a sadness very soon without them❣️😘

Yep that’s so true. My mother and my fiance came to visit. Even though I hate having to clean the house after they leave, it’s nice to have the house to myself again.
