It occurred to me, while making a pile of waffles large enough to feed a football team, that I had not posted the pictures from our drive back home this summer! We did indeed make the long drive back from New Mexico to Maryland as our summer vacation came to an end…. This time, we drove through The Lone Star State, Arkansas, Tennessee, Virginia, and of course, Maryland. This is such a lovely drive. Every time we drive cross country, I am always amazed at how different, yet beautiful, this country is.

I love the vivid colors of New Mexico dotting the brown desert, the wide open spaces, the storm clouds rolling in, and being able to see the sky kiss the ground…

I love the farmland and rolling hills of Texas, and that big ‘ol sky that leads into Arkansas…man that sky…

I love the flowing water of the grand Mississippi, and the muddy waterways meandering the countryside…

I’m enamored with The Great Smokey Mountains, and the cities that lie within…

Virginia is a treasure box of beauty…you can do nothing more than sit and drink up your surroundings…

And then there’s Maryland…and she is not about to be outdone…

Although the scenery is magnificent along the way, driving up to your very own home…Home Sweet Home…and finding a small Welcoming, is one of the best things of the long, wonderful trip!

We’re Home…And wherever Home is at the moment, Home is the best place to be!
