I visit my "Motherland" as often as I Can. It helps to reset my compass and send me on my way. I enjoy your blog very mush.

I’m one of those people who never had the guts to leave the Kansas City area. The two times I tried both ended in disaster. I think those were signs that I’m to stay tethered to the life I’ve always known. You, on the other hand, have been brave. You’ve stepped out of your comfort zone, willingly or not, to explore the possibilities. I admire you for that.

The neighborhood is completely changed. To get a sense of family I am into genealogy. Through it I feel close to my <br />three grandparents I never knew and closer to my grandmother who I barely knew.

With the recent wildfires devastating the Napa-Sonoma area, I believe I will never go home again because it will never be the same. Our 50th high school reunion was scheduled for May 18th, I had planned to attend but no longer have the desire to. I'm like you, a traveler searching for roots. My heart has never really found its true home, but still I search. I'll know it when I see it.At Rivercrest Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12068816102263605128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-52135665953523643412017-10-21T02:43:10.749-07:002017-10-21T02:43:10.749-07:00I am glad that you were able to do that, but for s...I am glad that you were able to do that, but for some they cannot.

My family is mostly gone and the land has been sold. While I loved looking at the mountains I grew up in there was also a deep sense of sadness and loss for me. But, under it all-the love that was there remains and warms my heart with the memories of my dad and other family members. xo DianaNanaDianahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14298962791700019785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1112304885994073400.post-14994691348413554412017-10-20T15:12:46.817-07:002017-10-20T15:12:46.817-07:00Lovely post!

I take vacations back to the city where I spent 20 years working. Sandi is so right.
