  • Home Sweet Home

    If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?

    Oh my goodness! The answer to that question has changed over the years. Paris was the place I felt at home. I seemed to know my way around without using a map. I wanted to kiss everyone! The vibe was so perfect. But that changed. The last time I saw Paris, there was a feeling of chaos and sadness.

    Scotland felt like home. My ancestors fought and died on its soul. I left my true love’s ashes in the heather on a hill, along with a piece of my heart. But it isn’t home.

    I would love to live where the weather is a perfect 72 degrees, it only rains at night while I sleep, the sun shines and all is well. But, that fantasy doesn’t exist.

    I would like to live in a place close to my children and grandchildren. The fact is they are spread out across the world so I can dream on. I am living in the city I was born in, which is a place I will probably never permanently leave. It is home.
