Home Sweet Home

Sitting at home, at my kitchen table, I can hear birds chirping outside. My cat Sutherland loves to chatter and cluck at the birds. When I sit with my notebook at the kitchen table, I can hear Marcel happily munching his dog food. Pancho is in the other room barking probably at Herbie, my other cat. The TV is blaring, HGTV, what else. Double chocolate muffins are baking in the oven. Sutherland is lounging on the kitchen table. Did I mention that I like being at home? I know it's not a chic or sophisticated notion, but I love my house. It's cute as a button. It's light and breezy in the summertime, and warm and cozy in the wintertime. Yes, it needs some work, but until I can afford to do some major things, everything is functional. This house makes me feel calm, and it sparks my creativity. Traveling is wonderful, to go to different places, different cultures, languages, people and things are all wonderful to experience, but there's nothing like coming home.
