And as for the object... I couldn't think of one clearly, because - like you - though I love my "things" they're just things, and though I wouldn't want to have to give them up (some of them have memories atatched that mean a lot, after all) I'd sooner give them all up and make sure Kero was safe than attempt to rescue any object I own. After all, the memories would be there even without the objects, right?Torizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04965005679599352165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-66504582509615021412011-12-11T14:58:54.283-06:002011-12-11T14:58:54.283-06:00Desiree--Home is definitely where the heart is, ye...Desiree--Home is definitely where the heart is, yes!! :) Thanks so very much!

Definitely no problem in that at all! To have a favourite place anywhere else means we really need to be as intimate with that place as our own home. The old sayings about there being no place like home and East, West, home's best were voicing a fundamentally universal truth. Home is where our heart is and where we feel happiest.<br />Also, I think it's absolutely fitting that Karma is your number one special treasure! She's making herself everyone's treasure out here in Blog Land, too :) <br />Again, I love the pictures you've shared here! Please DO think about writing her story. You could even do it as a series of Children's books, using many of your wonderful pictures. I just know she'd be instantly embraced by all who meet her!!!Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-36365600012669096612011-12-10T22:59:56.830-06:002011-12-10T22:59:56.830-06:00Ann (or is it Anna?)--Home is always best to me, t...Ann (or is it Anna?)--Home is always best to me, too...no matter where it has been.<br /><br />I absolutely had to visit Sven and Ole's Pizza the two times I made it up to Grand Marais and order their chicken and wild rice pizza!!

Such a cute kitty! <br /><br />My favorite place is my home. I think that's where I feel most comfortable and relaxed. If I were traveling within the state, it would have to be Grand Marais - such a beautiful part of Minnesota. If I was able to pick any place to visit in the U.S., I'd go to Vermont or Oregon. <br /><br />Most treasured object (aside from family and pets)? My computer - it has all my photographs from recent years...that or my scrapbooks - that have all the photographs prior to being able to upload them to a computer. When I see photographs, they bring back good memories...they bring me right back to that very moment in time.Harvest Moon by Handhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18026575111937500816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-6124040366261705762011-12-09T17:55:25.285-06:002011-12-09T17:55:25.285-06:00Iggy--Afraid to address my oarless problem, are we...Iggy--Afraid to address my oarless problem, are we?

I'm always changing things up a little for Karma because I don't want her to be bored, I guess. But she thought this was scary nuts at first--LOL! ;)<br /><br />Jeannie--I am blessed to have such a wonderful DIL who is truly like the daughter I never had. :):)<br /><br />Laura--So funny! Ever since I put Karma's bed up there I have had Magic Carpet Ride by Steppenwolf running through my head--ROFL!!<br /><br />AliceKay--Things must be crazy over your way since you haven't been posting much. I hope all is well and settles down soon!! hugs<br /><br />Connie--I grab my cell phone and camera and throw them in my bag after Karma's in her cat stroller. I should figure out a way to take my laptop, too. We have false fire alarms once or twice a year here and I always wish I had it when I am sitting in the garage waiting for the fire trucks to leave. ;) <br /><br />Carolyn--I have a terrible time picking one anything, too. Even a favorite color or food or any of those common questions people ask.

I remember two years ago we moved Koda's crate to put the Christmas tree up and it caused him to have stomach problems with stress colitis, LOL.

That is kinda what happens when I take Blues bed and wash it or like the time I got my large aquarium and it took the spot where blue's bed used to go. She just stands there looking at me like someone took here lollipop. <br /><br />It is nice to have the time to catch up and really talk with someone. I bet Leah really enjoyed it too. I had to go to the hospital today to pick up some prescriptions and saw the area I used to work in and I really really miss it! I just wanted to charge in there and say okay, I'm back - put me to work!

I'm so glad that we connected today...Dear Rita,<br />I'm so glad that we connected today. I hope to get your book in the mail tomorrow. <br /><br />Karma and her cat bed remind me of every cat with whom I've ever lived. They have such a sense of place. Of the right order of things. And of course the right order is the order in which they first presented themselves. They hate change--unless it's the introduction of a luscious new treat to eat. And even that is met with much sniffing--just to be sure!<br /><br />I'm glad your stamps came. Have a good evening.<br /><br />Peace.Dee Readyhttp://www.cominghometomyself.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-70866352388939159602011-12-08T18:16:14.098-06:002011-12-08T18:16:14.098-06:00My favorite place is wherever family is.
