Things I love about being home:

• Eating berries, beef, whole grain crackers and salad.
• PUBLIC LIBRARIES!  Library websites.  Libraries that can find any book you want (like a great Indian cookbook), hold it for you and send you a message telling you it’s ready for you to pick up.
•  Drinking from the tap.  Showering with our mouths open.  Letting Sarah play in the bath.
• Green space!  Parks, running trails, lakes (healthy hues of blues), did I say PARKS?!!
• Customer service. Politeness and friendliness in social and business interactions.
• Constant power supply. Reliable internet connection. Things working like you’ve grown to expect them to.
• Lack of ants and bugs in kitchen.
• The radio!  NPR. Pandora.
• Order. Space. Cleanliness.
• Dishwashers.  Washers and dryers with large capacities.  Again, reliable power supply.
