"Life's a voyage that's homeward bound." Herman Melville
Welcoming gift from a neighbor |
As we made the trip from the hotel to the new house, my kids asked, "Are we going home?"
"Yes, we are!" I tried to respond brightly, but I was slightly disconcerted to realize that I had no idea where "home" was.
We've been here a week, though, and I'm getting pretty good at navigating to the grocery store and a few other places. However, amid the clutter of boxes, packing papers, and suitcases, I'm still not really sure where home is. Our neighbors have been really lovely, though, and we're starting to meet some people, so I'm hopeful we'll find it soon.
