Six months ago our family of three moved into a motor home on a driveway.
Last week we saw the (second) motorhome driveaway without us in it.
One week ago we moved into the main house here at the ranch, into the master suite, and spent our first night settled into this real and beautiful house.
We're sleeping on a beautiful bed which doesn't shake the entire house when we turn over. We're bathing in a beautiful clawfoot tub situated next to windows and rose bushes. We're reading by the little woodstove in the far corner. We're enjoying the fact that the (worthwhile, challenging, and beneficical) motorhome season has drawn to a close.

We've had a few homes this year, so far. In each one we've managed to create a sense of home and 'place'. What creates 'home' for you?

Yay for this new season in a new home!

Home for me is having Keith there, as well as some favorite possessions... particularly books. Silly as it may seem and as much as I've fought against it, the one time in all our moves when I really felt homeless was when my Oswald Chambers was packed away for six months. There are some possessions that just make me feel home no matter where I am.
