Oh, the places you will go!

8 years ago

The challenge for the Frilly & Funkie challenge blog was a look at “Oh, the Places You Will Go.”  The challenge is generously sponsored by the Funkie Junkie Boutique.  After some fits and starts on this tag, I wound up doing the flip side of it.   I was rather tired after having run a half marathon and then driving home so it was ironic that I landed on the theme of “going home.”  While we go on vacation, journeys, and adventures we always want to come home.  When I  go on vacation we have many little adventures and, usually, the journey is rather far from home there is truly nothing like coming home.  It’s nice to have a bit of normalcy and familiarity not to mention curling up in your own bed!  I also thought of all of those who travel for work and look forward to coming home to family.  My beloved does a lot of traveling and he is always happy to come home.  So, we go to many places but we always go to our favorite place -- home.
