Homestead No More
<p>In 2018, I traveled from Illinois to attend a family reunion in New Orleans for my maternal branches. We had a blast, and I saw cousins I hadn’t seen in decades and met a few cousins I don’t recall ever meeting. I also took the time to check out familiar haunts where I could get comfort food and drinks that are difficult to enjoy anywhere else in the USA. Finally, I had comfort in the fact that I could visit homes in town where my immediate family lived. Overall, the trip felt familiar due to the touchstones of home that were consistent for decades.</p>
