Happy to hear it...just take it slowHello dear ones, just stopping by to let you know that I have not forgotten you.
I just returned from a marvelous, 7 day train trip across America, it was awesome, I had never been on a train before, now, I am hooked, you meet so many neat folks and become like a "family" The scenary was awesome, food great, but, LOL at times, the ride so bumpy I thought we would derail, I later discovered that that was "normal" so, I calmed down. I highly recommend train travel to all who want to see the country, it is so worth it.
I hope all are doing well, I am tired, still have not caught up with rest, but, have things to do.
Hello to all, will try to post more later.
Hugs

I live on a lake, surrounded by forests for miles.
It IS beautiful country in all 4 seasons with Fall foliage, Winter snow, Spring blooms, summer on the water
The is a LOT of wildlife here that we see on a regular basis!
*click on a link if you are not familiar with the species.
**The seals, whales etc are at the coast (1.5 hours from me)
***In the 'cat' family we do NOT see mountain lions or lynx here.
We don't wolves or venomous snakes here.... except for the timber rattler....which we have seen only ONCE 30 years ago when we first moved here.It sounds like a dream home in retirement. Of course, my dream would be a milder climate, but not in path of hurricanes or wild fires. Of course, there there's the threat of tornadoes, ice or snow storms.
I can kind of imagine the wildlife, because I had relatives in the mountains of WV. In fact, I spent my pre-school years and two to three weeks per summer there. No bears, but foxes , wolves and cyotes were common. Copperheads, too.

Hopefully we can live out our days here; may God's will be done
It is a modest house (small 6 room ranch) , on a very nice piece of property; just a couple of acresSo, you've lived there for a long time. It still sounds like choice property.
Thank God for that; I am happy for youThat's about how close I am to my neighbor. I live on the end. My other neighbor is the back side of Muffler Bros.
But, it's my house, built to accommodate my wheelchair. So, I'm grateful.

We are on a back lot.... set on a hill that overlooks the lake.
Years ago we bought property on one side of us for privacy; the rest is conservation land for MILES.
The lake community homes are built very close to one another, so we made a very good choice in making a move when the land next to us went up for sale.
The Lord has blessed us; we came from a city with growing crime and the houses on top of one another (you could pass pans to one another out the pantry windows we were so close...really!!)

It is a real blessing to have your own home in this economy
I absolutely loved trains as a wee one. My mother and I travelled from southwestern WV to Baltimore, MD several times via train. The new ones, of course, are faster, but we have none around here.
