How do you define “home?”  For some of us, “home” is where we grew up as children, no matter where we moved to as adults.  For others, “home” is wherever our toothbrush happens to be!  My wife and I, we like to travel from time to time on vacation, but we are essentially folks who like to put down roots and enjoy ourselves right in our own little house.  My wife’s sister, however, she likes to travel around and “see the world,” not staying anywhere very long.

We found a website that talks about how different people are in their attitudes towards home; the website calls the different types of people growers and nomads.  The website is called growersandnomads.com.  It really is a very interesting site, with links to blogs and stories from a lot of different folks with different tastes and opinions.  All of these different people make up the growers and nomads team, and I think they’ve done a fine job of creating a lively and informative site.  I especially like the link to the Home Improvement Tools that they provide.  That link goes to a wizard that helps you to figure out what the costs of repairs and remodeling might be.  It also takes you to some informational links that helps you to learn about the basic systems of your home.

My wife has a job driving as a substitute school bus driver. This morning she had to get up at 3am to get to the bus yard to be “on standby” for 5:30am. It’s awfully hard to get up at 3am! We went to bed early last night, about 7:30pm so we could get enough sleep.

Anyway, when my wife left for work this morning there was frost on the windshield. I was surprised because I didn’t expect it to be that cold! We have not even pulled out the window scrapers yet! So we had to let the car run for five minutes to clear the windshield. Winter is surely coming!
