Through the eyes of a writer and traveler ๐! Life and some spiritual musings. |
Still tired but hey y'all! It was a pretty good day. Finding out more about Roanoke and the communities. That's what we miss here. Strange things here ๐ค! The biggest things are Tasty Thursdays Which is a bunch of food trucks ( believe me nothing good! No Chinese food or veggies. A lot of pork and things like boiled peanuts ๐ฅ. Ugh they taste like wet cardboard. Had one 30 years ago when we moved to Georgia. They actually were a slave food but some people still eat them. The only big thing out here is The mullet festival. People toss the frozen fish to win prizes! A few food and crafts and at least they have a bunch of things for the kids to do and climb on! It's pretty dang boring here yawn ๐ฅฑ! It was good for a break from the drama in Oregon. It used to be a good community and had lots to do for the grandkids. Slowly the drug addicts and the homeless took over. Crime is off the chain there sadly. The past two years it's been so super hot we didn't make it to the beach this year, which was a total bummer. That's part of why we were here and because it's cheaper to live. Gas is $2.44 a gallon. But food is high and we have 7 % tax so that adds up quickly. Today joined a Facebook group and will be getting emails from there. Checking out the areas and where we want to live. Our ideal is a small house with a backyard for a garden, maybe chicken ๐ and place for the indoor kitties ๐ป to enjoy. Will probably adopt a dog ๐ or two โค๏ธ๐งก๐๐๐ฉต๐ In time. We miss the ones we lost. So a lot of work to do on it. If we hit the lottery we may move to Italy! And would travel to places like Holland and Egypt. I've never been out of the US , even though I've lived from NY to California and in the south. Well tired of course! Maxy had tummy issues and it was both ends so I had my work cut out! She seems better and I'm praying she will be. I'm learning a few things about the woman's movement from my good friend MABs. I'm so happy that all that political BS didn't effect our friendship of 50 + years.๐โค๏ธ She's going to look at some of my poems and things, to give me feedback on what she might buy as a book! I'm thinking of doing an ebook,if I can do it on my Chromebook. Will see what happens. Thanks for being on this journey with me โฏ๏ธ๐ชป ๐! Chow for now! Whew. |
