Well ... we have just past the one year marker of being in Olympia.
It is amazing how long it takes to really make a place one's home ...
I had kind of lost myself with all the moving,
getting kids settled in, exploring the area,
making new friends ..♦
I found myself wishing for things past
homesick for old friend and favorite places.
Even though this time of year can be a bit dark and gloomy I love the way things slow down from the usual hectic pace.
I spent all day in the kitchen yesterday.
I organized the cupboards, deep cleaned top to bottom, refilled my spices
... all the while a large pot of spaghetti sauce simmered
filling the house with wonderful delights.
Everyone came home cold & hungry.
There is no better way to make yourself be home.

and returns home to find it
