Home Sweet Home

I love home. Some people love to travel but not me, I am a homebody. I spent the last week in Nashville working on my sister's house. I enjoyed seeing my girlfriend who lives in Nashville and I even enjoyed the work. Yet, I am so glad to be home. To sit at my kitchen table, drink out of my coffee cup, and sleep in my bed.

A friend called last night to see if I wanted to go down to the coast and do some fishing for a few days. My answer - "no thank you". As much as I love to fish, I am not leaving home. He told me that I am really an old man in a 21 year old body. That might be true, but this old man is staying home.

As for an update on my sister, she is getting stronger everyday and her counts are looking better. Of course, as soon as she is well enough she will go for another set of treatments and the cycle starts all over. Thank you for keeping her in your prayers. Have a great day!

i love the feeling of home after being away, the smells, the sounds, the custom imprint on the couch and mattress.

glad to hear your sister is on an upswing. may she gather more than the strength she needs for the next round.

I love to travel but I do love my times when I'm just hanging out in my (as you young folks say) "crip."

Praise God that your sister is doing better. We'll continue to pray for her as she faces her next round of treatments.

Leslie - Since I am a single guy, the smells aren't always great, but the rest...I am with ya.

cwinwc - I am from Alabama, we don't use that word no matter how young we are. lol
