What a lovely piece about something that so many Americans have lost in the last year alone to fire, hurricanes, tornadoes, flooding, etc. One woman in California recently mourned the loss of recipes she had been compiling for over 50 years! It's the little things about home, and most of them are not material.

Thanks, Gayle. You are so right. Home is more than the building. In many ways it lives in us as much as we in it.

Maybe this is why return trips always feel short because it familiar territory like home long before I pull into my driveway. Thank you for this lovely stretch of the mind, Denise!
