There is No Place Like Home

I don't think that I could stand being away from our home for more than 2 weeks, although a few years back I was in the hospital for 3 months. Tougher 3 months in my life.

Glad you made it home safe and sound....where were the pups while you were away? I'm sure they were delighted to see you again.

The most we have been away from home is for one weekend.

I'm glad that you are safely home, and I can understand the delight of your dogs. We stayed in France for a year when we were younger.

What cute dogs @BelleStarr and I'll bet they did miss you guys. I'm exhausted just thinking about what you guys have been through. My longest stretch was 8 days and that was only because I was in the hospital for a ruptured appendix. And trust me, that was long enough.

No, but I regularly leave for six weeks to two months at a time. It's always great to get home whether it's 2 days or 2 months! I'm off on a trip tomorrow for three days at Disney. The Epcot flower show is open and it's one I've always wanted to see. Glad you made it home safe and sound.

When my first husband and I moved to Winston-Salem, NC, we were there for a short 3 months. I was terribly homesick. I toughed it out. When my husband said we were moving back I jumped for joy. The first few nights back we stayed in a tent in my aunt's yard. Even so, it was good to be home.

You'll sleep well tonight I bet! I've never been away for more then a week or so myself, I'm a home body so that's good for me. My parents used to go away for several months travelling here or there.

No, I have never been away from home that long. I think the longest was probably just a week.

@BelleStarr , wow, no, I have never been away from home for three months! I would get so home sick! Enjoy being back home. :)

I'm glad you ae home safe and sound. I love your dogs, so cute!

I've been away for 4 months, and got home today. Just plain too exhausted to talk. I'm sure the babies were thrilled to see you, as you were them!

glad you got home safely,enjoy being home,touching those familiar items and just beig you

I am not made to travel! I've never been away for more than a week or so at a time, and I wouldn't really want to go for a longer trip unless I knew I could settle in a home away from home, somewhere else. My two older daughters are great travellers, though. They started visiting away from home alone when they were about 12-13. My oldest has been flying all over the country unescorted, for years. We drop them at the airport and the flight staff meet them after they clear security. When they reach their destination, an officer will meet them and take them to the military base. My oldest has flown everywhere from the Maritime provinces to British Columbia, to the Yukon in the north. These days when she leaves for work, she goes for 7 weeks at a time. She is never bothered by it at all, and in fact really looks forward to it.

I do not think I know what you were up to in those 3 months and would love to hear about it. Those dogs look loving. Their welcoming the way you have described is not new to me.

I have Belle. Welcome home I love this photo

Glad you made it home safely.

no ma'am, can't say that i've done such. thinkin' the longest i've been gone's 'bout a month'n a half?? when my dad 'twas battlin' cancer back'n the hills. i got thoroughly mauled by the pups/cats here, shunned by a few horses 'n cows - licked by the rest.

Only when I traveled around to other states, but that took about eight years. Each area I lived in was considered home if only temporarily. At the time I didn't know that I would end up back in my home state and city. My travels would be considered completely different than going south for the winter months. Have you been doing this for a few years or is this your first trip and stay in Florida? I don't remember since it seems like several of the mylot ladies ended up there this winter. I bet you wished you'd waited until the cooler weather was completely done? We're having snow flurries this weekend in Michigan.

When i work overseas. Like i am far away from my family. It is hard
