Hello, my dears. Amelia Hardesty speaking. I’m very pleased to make your acquaintance.

As for the title of this post, I believe it may be a trifle overstated. Not that I’m unhappy in my home, but I’d be much happier to be home if I’d been anywhere else in the past five years.

Yes, I realize that my … well, call it house arrest … was of my own doing, but that doesn’t make me resent it any less.

Perhaps Matthew could be persuaded to let me take dear Mitch to Europe during summer break. We wouldn’t go to Paris, though, obviously. Italy, I think. I’m sure Andrew would look after the dogs for me while we’re gone.

Now! I feel happier already! Hand me my cigarettes, would you, dear? Thank you so much!

Oh! Pop over and visit Nancy Mock’s delightful Hungry Enough to Eat Six, an amusing and visually pleasing food blog.
