Home, Home, Home!

Home is where, at the close of a most gruelling day, you can peel off from your weary feet your soggy socks; and, for not wearing a hat in the rain, you get caringly scolded by your worried but now reassured wife; and you get knocked and pinnned down on the frayed couch by a bunch of laughing and giggling kids who once again go through the playful ritual of piling themselves up on an immobilized, grinning you; and you get a glimpse, through the kitchen screen door that badly needs repair, of a joyfully wagging tail !
