NC A Place to Call Home: In the Spirit of Campaign Slogans...

MISS SPELLERS OF THE WORLD ....UNTIE!!!

Finally A Place to Call Home

This blog is one grandmother's attempt to stay relevant in the current century. I now live in a beautiful part of the south. I have an amazing front porch and the white rockers to go along with such a porch. At an advanced age we became first time home owners! Well, we don't exactly own it yet, but we have started paying for it. So because I have always been a bit of a gypsy in that I have lived soooo many places- I named the blog .. A Place to Call Home.

I have many words left to use while I am still on the planet. I think a great deal about things and really love the idea of having a forum to share some of those thoughts. So welcome to my blog... feel free to comment and come along for the ride.

Quotes I Find Worth Mentioning

" I am much better at hello!" - Karen Blixen in Out of Africa
"Authority exercised with humility, and obedience accepted with delight are the very lines along which our spirits live."-C.S.Lewis
"Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: You don't give up."- Anne Lamott
"Life should be a little bit nuts, otherwise it is just a bunch of Thursdays strung together!"- Kevin Costner in Rumor Has It
"Nothing is so fatiguing as the eternal hanging on of an uncompleted task."
"You can safely assume that you've created God in your own image when it turns out that God hates all the same people you do."-Anne Lamott
Even if you are on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there. (Will Rogers)
Overheard: "No, I'm not an introvert. I'm very outgoing. I just don't like you very much."
