There are just some places that feel like home. Not home because it's where you grew up, but home because there's an ease and a comfort in being there. Off the beaten path in Texas I often find the feeling. Its in the country. Its with the trees and the birds. Its what looks like America to me - flag-waving, kids with ice cream on their faces, parents smiling, BBQ on the grill and sharing.
That's how our day was today. We talked to many people in passing. It was a community even if you didn't live nearby. There was a community in sharing a meal, keeping you fork for dessert kind of meal. We shared among the three of us, and shared a bit of story and some smiles with others sharing the picnic table where we sat. And after we finished we found a few wooden rockers facing the field and sat down for a bit more. There was a breeze and we were under cover. Texas summer.
This may be our only visit to Ham Orchard this summer. If that's the case we're sure glad we had such a great day today!
