Home On the Range

I dragged the girls with me to Cache Valley today for a little fake bridesmaid dress shopping, and we listened to their CD of old timey cowboy music all the way there. I got all misty eyed, thinking of my former home, at the following verse:

Where the air is so pure
and the Zephyrs so free
and the breezes so bonny and light
that I would not exchange
my home on the range
for all of your cities so bright!


Which is kind of funny, considering that we lived in a city of 200k before and we're in a rural county of 6k now. Still, my home on the range was there -- on the beautiful prairies, the high plains of West Texas -- however suburban it may have been. Not here.

Maybe someday songs about living in the Shadow of the Everlasting Hills will make me well with nostalgic tears for our current home. I do love it here. But right now I kind of miss Texas.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I've been waiting and waiting for our new home to seem like "home".... but six months later and most days I tell DH, "Now, why did we move from NY again?"

Then again, it took awhile for me to consider NY "home-like"...so I'm sure it will happen for both of us.
