How's this place work?

If you could take a little mental holiday and go to any imaginary place, where would you go?
And what would you do while you were there?

Send me a postcard, handmade or otherwise, from an imaginary location. It can be a place from a book or a movie or a piece of music, or some other world you made up. On the other side, write and tell me what you've been doing on your vacation from reality.

All postcards to be addressed to:

Soozcat
Wish I Were Here
6975 Aegean Blvd. NE
Bremerton, WA 98311
United States

I'll scan a selection of postcards and post them to the blog for all and sundry to enjoy.

Postcard the seventy-sixth: Home

There's no place like home, is there? Even during a pandemic when we're all probably spending way too much time there.

Home can mean a lot of things, but I think some aspects of every home hold true. Home is where you feel secure, where you're comfortable being yourself. It's where you keep your stuff. And as Robert Frost put it, home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.

KR (who seems to feel much the same way about home) writes:

"I'm enjoying my time at my favorite place in the whole world --
...... HOME ......
or rather, a home made of all my homes (& best friend's home, & my hotel in Paris, and my mom's childhood home & my dad's childhood home)... What a place to be!"

Thank you for the reminder that home, wherever and whatever it may be, is a wonderful place, KR. Sincerely hoping you enjoy your time at home on this Independence Day.
