Places I've Called Home

These are places that I have called "home", whether for a month or decades. If I've found favourite grocery stores and markets and product preferences, made friends, found a favourite Sunday brunch haunt, cooked meals, vacuumed floors, cleaned bathrooms, washed clothes, and felt glad to come in through the front door, then it has been home, if only for a while.
