No Place Like Home!

DOROTHY WAS RIGHT!


SO WAS PERRY COMO!



    There's No Place Like Home For The Holidays
    Oh, theres no place like home for the holidays
    Cause no matter how far away you roam
    When you pine for the sunshine of a friendly gaze
    For the holidays, you cant beat home, sweet home
    I met a man who lives in Tennessee
    He was headin for, Pennsylvania, and some home made pumpkin pie
    From Pennsylvania, folks are travelin down to Dixies sunny shore
    From Atlantic to Pacific, gee, the traffic is terrific
    Oh, there's no place like home for the holidays
    Cause no matter how far away you roam
    If you want to be happy in a million ways
    For the holidays, you cant beat home, sweet home
    Take a bus, take a train, go and hop an airplane
    Put the wife and kiddies in the family car
    For the pleasure that you bring when you make that doorbell ring
    No trip could be too far







After all that traveling and speaking this year, I am looking forward to staying at home for a few weeks! 






SOME SPECIAL MOMENTS AT HOME
OVER THE LAST FEW YEARS



Snowy evening at home last winter.

When I am home alone on a snowy winter evening, I am always tempted to turn on the gas (fireplace, that is)!


Why make the bed? I am retired and I am just going to get back into it again this afternoon!




MY HERO
I used to watch him all the time on TV. I never identified with Tonto. He was way too dependent!


This is where I cook my healthy meals!

Dinner is ready, Ronald! 



A very underused dining room. 

Library and Memorabilia Museum

I finally turned this junk room into a guest room. Now I need some guests. 

With a setting like this, why, oh why, did I give up cigars?
