Is There Truly 'No Place Like Home'?!...No Place?!

   This was a photo on the blog Twenty-Ten Fotos the other day. Between this photo and a question that was asked of me yesterday, on the blog Honey from the Bee, I really got to thinking about places that I would love to visit or some day call home.
    This balcony is in downtown Croatia. (I think, anyway). I would love to go grocery shopping and then have to come back home to this! It looks like such a great place to live in. And I could see my hubby, just like Romeo in "Romeo and Juliette", yelling up at me from the street: "Where fore art thou, Puddles?!!" {Puddles is my nickname...Okay, so I cried at everything when we were first married. Puddles of tears,...even for commercials on T.V.!! ^_^}

     Just looking regularly at her photos of Croatia makes me think it would be a great place to live! The above photo is a little resting place a little ways away from the Roman ruins near Split Croatia, in Solin,...(I think). You can read the full blog post, which has lots of other photos on the blog Croatia-Motherhood and my daily adventures of living overseas. This got me to thinking...could I live overseas?!...I don't know about that. I'm the kind of girl that loves the familiar. Even though this certainly looks like a beautiful place! Her little daughter Beli certainly loves it!
     The question that Janet asked me was: "If you could take a trip anywhere in the world, where would you go and what would you want to see and/or experience?" You can go HERE, down in the comments section, and see my answer to this, and 3 other questions she asked me. But for sure wherever I called home would have to have good food, a good place to buy yarn or crochet thread, colorful flowers, and good music! Not to mention water and breath-taking scenery!
    And around this time of the year any place in the Northeast of the United States would probably be a good place to call home. You can see what I mean in this photo of the Bronx River, in New York, taken recently by Cathy of the blog Artsy Butterfly.

    She has some wonderful memories connected to this area and the Bronx Zoo. You can read the rest of the post HERE. I would love living here, I think. But maybe not all year round. Just in the Fall...My tastes as to dwelling places would have to be...what shall I say....comfortable. I need to have all of the comforts of home...and then some! Number one place to call home?!

    Hawaii!! What's not to love about this place?! Sunrises and sunsets to die for, food, the ocean, flowers, music, and friendly people!! I might have a bit of a problem with people needing crocheted items...but I can always ship them off to somewhere else!! ^_^
    And then again......I think the expression is true. There really is 'No Place like Home'. Especially for me. What would I do without the Connecticut river...

     ...and my backyard?! :-)

    Even in the dark there's always something going on around here! I bet Mr. Skunk is thinking just like me, that no matter how many places you can really love visiting or vacationing in, there's really 'No Place Like Home'!!...No Place!! ^_^

}Remember, tomorrow will be "Say What You Need To Say" Day! If you want to do it too, use the words 'Say What You Need To Say' in your blog post title. I'll link your blog letter to mine. Have fun! You can be honest, but nothing mean-spirited please! :-)

 Home

The place where I am at my best.
A place of calm and peace and rest.

The place from which I never roam.
'Cause it's in my heart, this place called home!
