I enjoy being home more than anything else in the world!!  Sometimes I worry that I'm a bit too reclusive!  I look forward to getting home from work and hanging out with my kitties every day.   Some weekends I park the car Friday night when I get home from work and don't leave again till Monday.  I do my errands after work, since I'm already out.

I used to be on the go constantly, and then I took the plunge and bought my first home.  It's been love ever since!  

Are there things I'd like to change?  Sure.  I have lists of home projects, some big, some small, but I still love home.  It has the perfect layout for me, just the right amount of room, and just the amenities I need to be comfortable.   I am very happy with my choice and while it may be modest to some, it's truly my dream home as far as reality is concerned.  Now, if I were a millionaire, well, I'd probably upgrade

My sentiments exactly, @Catlady Nicole !!!  Except in my house it is dogs, not cats. My coworkers laugh when I come in on Monday mornings and say that I did not leave the house all weekend!!   I LOVE to be home with DH and my puppies!!!

The only thing I would change at all, is to move my home to MICHIGAN!!!!

Yes, I love and have loved all of our homes-- no matter where we have lived - rented or owned-shabby and struggling to paint and collect, refinish, sewing my own slip covers, drapes, pillows.  Even a found piece of lace and wondering what I could with it,  makes me happy. 

Even in our later years with life a bit easier--One thing has never changed, my husband and I have always embraced where we are in our lives, good and bad, and lived it all out in the safety and beauty of the homes we worked to create. I think we make our own beauty, no matter where we are-no matter how modest or extravagant our lifestyles..

Living in the country-In spring I'll start working in the gardens around 7 a.m. the dogs with me, and maybe not come in until midnight-exhausted, filthy, barely able to stand up straight, bug bitten, obsessing about what I wished I could have finished and start all over again the next day, but perfectly content-

I've no issue with anyone who doesn't spend time in a home-I grew up in an environment such as that-going from home to home according to seasons-All loved wherever they happened to be and the environment they happened to live in at that moment in time.  To each his own-
