Makes me happy!

I was walking down the aisles of Target when I spotted an eye catching wall frame. It's almost as if I was in a trance for 20 seconds. And during those 20 seconds I stood in the middle of the isle just looking at the frame, reading the words, and getting lost in the shades and color. It caught my attention because it has a rustic look to it and it goes with the colors of our apartment. For at least 5 seconds of those 20 seconds I thought I was in California. Specifically at the Target in Pasadena. Then, I snapped out of it and nope I was standing in the Target in Texas. SIGH.

I knew that I had to get my hands on the frame that just hung there. Brown background with off white writing which read: "Los Angeles, Venice, Hollywood, 101 FWY" etc. etc... There hung a little piece of where I am from. The first thing I've seen that has to do with California since we arrived here. I have realized that I didn't appreciate California when I was there. Yes, there are places that I can't stand, and places that I just love. Locations that I will never see here. And now that I am here I appreciate where I am from.

I may never go back, who knows, one thing I know for sure is that Raul and I will not live the rest of our lives here in this city. And our plans are already in the works to get out of here in due time. But that is a separate story. :)

Sooooo I bought this frame, and hung it on the wall that faces our door. So as I come in I am reminded of this place I call "home." It may be insignificant to many, but has much meaning to me. And that makes me happy!!!!
