This is our last morning at the lake. The early sun breaks pink through the fog, and the entire view from our porch is ethereal. We’ve enjoyed a great week with family in one of our favorite places. Lots of laughter. Too much food and drink, but that’s part of the fun. I’m ready to be home.
Home.
The word has a different meaning to us right now. Worth Street, our beautiful historic home in Munger Place, won’t be ours much longer. John and I have decided the time is right to sell. Our plan has always been to move home to Arkansas, and this will get us one step closer.
I am excited about this change, yet I will miss Worth Street and Munger Place. The house, neighborhood, friends, the convenience of fabulous grocery stores and Tex-Mex around the corner, my Promise of Peace garden.
For now, we are ready to be home at Worth Street.

Fay Guinn says
Say whaaaat? You know, it seemed to me, and sometimes my seemings are wrong, but it seemed (there I go seeming again) you were spending most of your time in Arkansas during the last 12 months or so. Anyhoo, it will be great to have you closer to the H-P gang.
Talya Tate Boerner says
I agree Fay! Since I left the bank and began writing, I spend a lot of time going back and forth.

Tara @ Running 'N' Reading says
I am originally from Texas, so moving to Arkansas was tough for me! I love the Dallas/Fort Worth area and I know you’ll miss it greatly; the longer I’m in Arkansas, though, the more I appreciate this state for all it has to offer. I wish you all the best in your endeavors! Wave when you leave, and we’ll welcome you when you get back!
Talya Tate Boerner says
Arkansas is home for me, so I’m ready! But yes, there are things I will miss and I’ll be back:))
