What Makes A Home?

Our family has so much to be thankful for. We sit on the back porch under the swirling umbrella limbs of one of the two great elms on our property on Pearl Street. These are the good elms, of which are few survivors in Englewood.
We tell stories, drinking from a hot cup, snacking on sandwiches; strains of guitars in the background.
When I was a little girl, my dad accepted a job in Philadelphia as an office manager of a mission organization. The place had acres of developed lawns and big old brick or stone houses for staff members. The streets were lined with cherry blossoms in the Spring.
Our house had creaky oak floors an oak staircase, and four bedrooms at the top of it, encircling, with a large white tiled bathroom to share.
