Home Away From Home

It is really the simple little things...

A cotton cloth,

a candle,

flowers,

linen drapes...

Open window filling the home with light.

Pretty oil paintings on the wall...

Another table cloth...

Colorful dishes...

Cotton napkins...

Candles...

Flowers...

The perfect oil painting to hang in a small dining nook...

Life as it should be...

Wine and roses...

A few thorns here and there,

teaches us to be mindful,

and careful when handling the delicate rose...

Much like life.

"When at last I took the time

to look at the heart of a flower,

it opened up a whole new world - 

a world where every county walk

would be an adventure,

where every garden would become

an enchanted one."

-Princess Grace of Monaco

A lovely candle stick...

A beautiful hand painted plate from Spain,

and another pretty oil...

And comfort...

Food can be so comforting...

Especially when trying to make a home away from home...

Crock Pot Fruit Cocktail Cake.

Oh so delicious...

A cashmere shawl for those cool morning walks...

A very inspiring cookbook.

These are just a few things that help me make

'home away from home'...

We have traveled with work since 1977,

and every trip is a new adventure.

God has blessed us greatly,

and I am so grateful to our Lord.

"But 

our palaces

are the tents

we carry with us."

Miguel De Cervantes
