the restful contentments of home

On my usual morning walk through the hospital to get coffee today I caught the intoxicating aroma of cinnamon toast.  Toasty bread, melty butter, crunchy sugar, spicy cinnamon... the smell of everday simple comforts.   A good reminder that while I do so enjoy the excitement and adventure of travel, it is well balanced by the restful contentments of home.

That's a lovely collage that does sum up the best of home.

My grandmother always made us cinnamon toast...such a treat for kids and adults alike. I have spread the love of this simple comfort to my own kids, the grandchildren and now the great grands...the love goes on.

I dearly love to travel but I love to return home to my own nest.

This is no good, you are making me hungry again Carol! I am a little anxious about some things right now and I thought I'll just pop by and see Carol before bed (after midnight here in England) she is so peaceful, and here you are posting about being restful! Just what I needed, so thank you. Happy days. xx

I have two dogs, but I sometimes miss Lewis, Clark and Buck Moss.But I can fix the cinnamon toast thing. I think that I will do it right now, in fact.
