N is for




Nostalgia – sentimental recollection; things that arouse nostalgia; homesickness

Do you ever get nostalgic? I do – often when I read someone’s post it will remind me of the mountains that I still consider home. Then I get homesick. I haven’t been “home” since last June, and that was a flying trip for a funeral. It seems like that is the only time I get there anymore. I used to go down once or twice a year just for pleasure but haven’t since my dad passed away – just doesn’t seem the same I guess. That and the price of gas – it would cost me around $250 to make the trip with gas at $4.00 a gallon.

  1. Things do prompt my mind to going back many times and then I smile and sigh or bore someone 30 yrs younger...lol and realize I have told that story so many times, but still I smile.
