 There's nothing like staying at home for real comfort.
- Jane Austen -


How wonderful it is to enter into comfort.

Wherever home is...


... let us be grateful...
if we find it to be a place of spiritual comfort


...We know the way to places where there is...


... love, guidance, and comfort ...


Thank you to all the people in our lives who make us feel at home.

  2. Good morning beautiful friend.
    YOU LOVE SWANS AND THEIR CYGNETS!!! Now wonder that pic I have on my blog reminded me of YOU.

    Oh dear heart, I lost my momma when I was 29 and she was 63. YOU WERE BOTH SO YOUNG when your loss occurred! Let us rejoice in knowing that they are still alive, even MORE ALIVE than we can imagine, for they are on the other side of ETERNAL LIFE. We are the ones that are waiting......

    BLESS YOUR HEART SWEET MARIA. I consider you a dear friend and I want to thank you for being there. SCHOOL IS ALMOST OVER!!!!!!!!!

    BIG HUGS, Anita

  8. Beautiful friend,

    I just came in from having the most PEACEFUL gardening day ever. Our spring this year is so lush and green for we have had a lot of rain. Our gardens are more mature than ever and I planted some beautiful flowers in urns. I am pleasantly fatigued now but I saw your sweet message and I just wanted to thank you for your dear thoughts. Oh yes, white horses are my PASSION and I wonder if there really are horses in heaven? Will HE come on a white horse???!!!!!

    PEACE AND GOODNESS TO YOU as we celebrate MOTHERS' DAY!!!!!! Anita

  15. I wanted to come wish you a Happy Mother's Day! I hope you are having a wonderful, relaxing day. The photos are beautiful. I love your pup. Our old pup (she will be 16 June 9th) is in her last days. Her legs aren't working well, she is skipping days of drinking and eating and is so thin that I can't believe she is still breathing. We are simply loving her, babying her and waiting...it is hard, but we really hope she slips away here at home and she isn't in any pain as of yet. Of course our young pup keeps the house full of excitement and chaos.
