Erin’s Journal
Just a thought… Every house where love abides And friendship is a guest, Is surely home, and home, sweet home For there the heart can rest. [Henry van Dyke]
I hope that, since these are our last few days here, you won’t mind me sharing a view or two from our winter here in Palm Springs. I’ve been reluctant to do so before, as I don’t want to tick you off – especially when I see cold weather and icy condition alerts in my Twitter feed, not to mention scads of cancellations. Stay safe! Now – think warm thoughts (again).
