It described a man who learned to love the US as well as his homeland of Japan. But whenever he stayed in one place too long, he began to miss the other. The book had a simple elegance to it, and even though my roots run deep, I think I could imagine how someone would learn to love more than one place.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-88141121848791795962012-03-15T08:09:57.995-04:002012-03-15T08:09:57.995-04:00You sound an awful like my Dad, who started out ho...You sound an awful like my Dad, who started out hobo-ing freight trains at 15 years old. I've heard him say often, "I just wanna see whats over that next hill, or around that next curve." He lived that out in his career too. Mom says they made 62 moves together. Only one of them that I can remember was anything close to your traveling style - that was when we (Dad, Mom and three boys) moved from Florida to Seveirville, TN in a 16 foot long camping trailer. I enjoyed the change and the challenge of making new friends, learning the new places to shop, new things to do, and experiences to try. Alas - I've lived here longer than anywhere else in my 73 years. We have been in this house now - which is 14 years. Almost time to move again???Fred Altonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12740055638280779519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-5346298134983523592012-03-15T02:03:19.556-04:002012-03-15T02:03:19.556-04:00That's quite a journey the two of you have bee...That's quite a journey the two of you have been on.

I can't imagine being like your friend that stayed in the same hometown and so close to where he grew up. One could really set down roots in situations like that I do believe!<br /><br />I think you and Sherry have the ideal situation; if you don't like where you move, you can always move on shortly afterwards without the "baggage" of packing and moving furniture etc!<br /><br />enjoy your new "digs".<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-14143973902601193252012-03-14T21:17:18.559-04:002012-03-14T21:17:18.559-04:00Moving is never fun, but change is good.Moving is never fun, but change is good.Ken Richeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09425810816600512504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-15475615988919716732012-03-14T19:37:33.125-04:002012-03-14T19:37:33.125-04:00Home is where your heart is...to answer your quest...Home is where your heart is...to answer your question. I've live in several different homes, but most always in the same town. I do love my camper in the woods, but that is only home for a few months a year...the rest is spent mostly here at my house. I've been here almost 20 years now and that is the longest I've ever spent in the same house. Glad you like your new home and hope every day there is a blessing for you both. It was warm in the 70's here today and I raked leaves out of the flower beds...just heavenly!I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3874656382203957840.post-86633385674052892962012-03-14T16:01:31.327-04:002012-03-14T16:01:31.327-04:00Congratulations on your years of wanderlust!

I have a friend in Virginia (whom I've known since before he was born), who lives on an acreage between the one where he was born and the one where he grew up. He's 64! I can't even begin to fathom this kind of anchor to the soil of one place. My parents moved when I was 4 1/2 and I've been moving ever since. If Don and I had been able to stay "on the road" I figure we'd have managed around 10 years...but then Don was older so we got kind of a late start. ;-) I enjoyed the time we did get to spend...it was fantastic to be able to get up in the morning and say let's go here...and by mid afternoon you were somewhere else...with your whole house turtled along with you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
