Where I live doesn’t matter. As long as I am with those whom I love. And for now, that is in the great Midwest, central Illinois. Surrounded by corn and bean fields, friendly neighbors and small towns, drive-in movies, ice cream shops. Colorful leaves in the fall, snow in winter, flowers in spring. With a twelve year old who paints my toenails the color of the sky, an eighteen year old who calls me “momsa,” and a husband who makes all my dreams come true. In the middle of a forest, with acorns tap-tapping my roof. This is where I live.
It sounds wonderful says a girl with blue toenails.

It looks like you have your feet as well as your heart planted squarely on the ground there in Illinois.
ReplyDeleteSounds perfect, says someone who feels the same way about heart and home. Love the toes...they reflect a summer's day.
ReplyDeleteAre you close to Urbana? I miss my Alma Mater! My brother just moved from Monticello to Indy. At least I still have family in Illinois so I can get my "fix." I actually miss the corn and cows!!!
