Home Sweet Home

20 05 2008

Well I haven’t written on this in way to long it seems and I’m not really sure why I am today.  I think sometimes it helps to vent a little on these or share joy or whatever the emotion might be at the present time, its just nice to get something off the ol’chest.  Today was a weird day.  And not for any particular reason, but it got me thinking about home.  Now we currently live in Arkansas which is pretty cool.  I mean the people are nice but the scenery lacks a little.  We have many friends in Texas and in many ways this is a home to my wife and I because its where we met and its where the majority of our friends are.  But my home home is in Highlands, NC.  Up in the mountains at 4118 feet above sea level.  Where a hot day in the summer is in the high 70’s or low 80’s.  Where you can sit outside at night and not be carried off by mesquitos.  It doesnt happen often but from time to time I get a little home sick for my mountain town.  I mean, its just the greatest place on earth in many ways.  Now I dont know if I’ll ever get to live there again but from time to time, it would be nice.  Wake up one summer morning, throw on a sweat shirt and have a cup of coffee on the front porch of my moms just sounds nice right about now.  I dont know why but it just does..haha  I have to be honest this blog is pretty stinking random but its what I’ve been thinking about alot today.  Oh well so goes life.  On a different note…I think I saw a mesquito the size of a small bird today.  Gotta love the delta of Arkansas.

Peace and Love,

The White-man

Ah home – it’s always where the heart is. You know we dream of the Panhandle for the same reasons you dream of Highlands – 4000 feet above sea level and very low humidity. Summers are just nice. I hope someday you’ll get back into that kind of country. I’m sitting outside as I write this (on a Mac of course) and wishing we were someplace else. Why can’t we just make peace with where we’re at?

Love you guys, say hey to Jaime for us.
