Top Ten Things I Love About Home


10.  The sounds of home—the train in the distance, the pheasants and geese, and Pandora Internet Radio, namely Mark Knopfler Radio, my favorite.

9.  Finding everything we need at reasonable prices, like ingredients for special dishes and building supplies for projects back in N.D.

8.  Seeing trees and mountains in every direction.

7.  Using my own washer and dryer—use a grimy Laundromat and you’ll know what I mean!

6. Cooking in my own kitchen.  Even with its circa 1953 cabinets, sketchy range, lack of counter space and drawer space and inefficient layout, I still love it.  Really, I do!

5.  Going for a run with Eric on English Point Trails on a path carpeted with golden larch needles.

4.  Using a real shower.  Enough said.

3.  Having a girl’s day with my dear friend Lynn—shopping at the new Trader Joe’s that we have been pining for for years, followed by a picnic at Manito Park…good times!

2.  The cats!  Crash and Gabby have been all over us, winding around our legs, purring, and jumping on any lap that appears.  I miss them so much when we are gone!

1.  Seeing family and friends—thanks so much for the meals, visits and laughs we have shared.  It was wonderful, and makes us want to come back as soon as we can.

We are preparing to head back to NoDak tomorrow or Saturday.  It will be sort of hard to leave, but I’m looking forward to making progress at our little camper on the prairie.

 I’ll keep you posted!  J
