….does home become HOME? We’ve both said it at least once in the last week….”back home….” (meaning, in Nevada). But we have no home there. It is sold, deed has been recorded, new folks have taken it (and its hellish driveway…) over.
Certainly we have dear friends there…..but no family. We have been here eighteen months, our family has followed us. We worship in our local church, bank at the credit union, pay our mortgage to the local bank, eat at local restaurants, shop at the local stores, go to the local beaches, I work at the local hospital…..
…..so why do we think of Elko as “back home?” How long after our moves from them did Reno…or Phoenix…..or Detroit…. cease to be thought of as “back home?”
…just a passing thought as I turned into the driveway of ……HOME….this morning!
