[Alberta's Child]

I once met a guy who traveled all over the world with his wife after they retired. He said they had visited 120 different countries over a ten-year period or something like that. Imagine my surprise when I asked him the most beautiful place he had ever visited in his travels . . .

"Everybody is shocked to hear this -- but it's upstate New York!"

It's true. There's a part of the countryside that reminds me of the countryside near Oslo, Norway. The mountains are wonderful, etc. I love it here. I haven't travelled extensively (Hawaii, Alaska, Norway) but I'm always glad to be back home. These places are great to visit but...I could stay in Norway for a few months though. Loved it there. Anyplace where there is family is home to me. We love the seasons and watching the deer frolic in our yard. Living in a college town, or near one, is different from the city or other urban areas so I'm spoiled, I admit. Thanks for sharing that with me.
