Prompt: List the things that feel like home.
* Jeffrey * fresh flowers * children laughing in the backyard * mooing at the cows just over the fence * my Mom's house * Chattanooga, Tennessee * small, white country churches with steeples * my classroom * anywhere my parents are * watching Sloane sleep * my old youth camp in south Georgia * one particular cabin at Wilson's Cottages and Campgrounds * this song * this album * this book * Crater Lake * art museums * when the dogs lick my hands * crawling into bed under freshly laundered sheets * quiet reading evenings * Jeffrey's cooking * fireflies * barefoot walks along the shore * Sloane's baking * the smell of used bookstores * a Texan accent * my faux-brother's smile when he sees me * writing in my journal * the sound of water * the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies * Savannah, Georgia * pancakes for dinner * fog horns * my pretty closet * our Christmas tree * Jeffrey and Sloane, Jeffrey and Sloane, Jeffrey and Sloane *
The picture above is an old one of my beautiful Sloane, the joy of my own home.

I love the list, but I love it more that I went back to check about your mom and saw that it wasn't cancer. I am so happy for you, for her and for all of your family. Big hugs!
lots of soul in those eyes
oh, i loved this list!
So many of my favorites are on it i.e. crawling into bed under freshly laundered sheets * quiet reading evenings * fireflies * the smell of used bookstores* writing in my journal *the smell of freshly baked chocolate chip cookies

Your lists always bring a smile to my face.
So glad to hear your Mother is cancer free! What beautiful words.
Lovely list, lovely news about your mom. You're just a lovely soul, Relyn. That's the plain, old, unvarnished truth.
(Christmas tree?)
What a wonderful list, Relyn. We're going to have to meet up one day. Savannah would be the perfect place and quite do-able for me. Just let me know when!
Love, love your list!
Fog horns... That made me smile. So did that sweet face.
Happy weekend,

and the magesty of that music
that moved me into rest last night

you're such a treasure, Relyn,
and this space you've built.

Jennifer

I have been hearing the one outside my bedroom window from time to time these last few weeks. That means fog. Which means cool air. Which means fall is coming!!!! yipee!!!
