I wonder how many readers I have lost during my hiatus from my blog (almost two months)…well maybe there will be some understanding souls out there waiting patiently for another post, or at least willing to give me another try. It’s been almost two months since I purchased my little house on the prairie, having moved from the big apple to the state of cheese…and brats (still waiting to try my first brat). Seems there is a lot to owning a new house. In fact, I didn’t even have a mailbox when I moved in, and so there it started, a new mailbox, new window treatments, landscaping and a ton of new furniture. Today I was thinking I have been in a bit of a bird mode, you know, going out and collecting sticks for my nest, only these sticks cost a few bucks.
So, here I am in my little nest away from the big city wondering if I will ever entirely fit in, wishing I were closer to my family…closer to anyone. I have lived around the country, the west, the south, east and now the midwest and having flown over the rainbow a few times, I can say that each place holds a charm and a wonder, and each place is called home to a lot of folks, but it takes time to call a place home. Making a house is fairly easy, although expensive, but still not as challenging as making a home. So, as I am gathering things for my new house, I am gathering relationships for my new life here in Wisconsin. Not sure I will ever call Wisconsin home, but I will look to the sky and hope that the dreams I dare to dream of finding a home, really do come true.
