Homeward Bound

First go to this link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaQYQnrPgSM

Did you listen to it?!! Do it now.

Nostalgia is my favorite minor key. I've always been a homesick girl down deep.

When I was young I'd try to spend the night at Grandma's--just our two yards and a dirt road between us, but I would look out her upstairs bedroom window at the lights of my own cozy home and want to be there so fiercely that I'd tiptoe down the stairs, out the back door and brave the dark to run home--being chased by bears.

I love being home. I'm a homebody. (In Chile, I'm a casera) Fortunately, I've been able to live all over the world and have kind of learned to "bloom where I'm planted," but I've always been eager at the end to go home. With less than three weeks until we get on that plane, I'm indulging my inner homesick child. Enjoy the music. (Maybe someone will help me make hot links so you don't have to cut and paste.) Suggest other songs to really get me bawling, as I did when singing "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas" with the Officer Wives Skylarks in the Philippines in 90 degree heat.

Sappy song, but I can't resist Johnny Cash and Elvis crooning my demise
