July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
If you won a free trip to any foreign country, all expenses paid in your own private jet and had the time to go (and there were no travel restrictions due to a global pandemic *Pthb*), what is the first foreign country you would visit? Who would you bring with you? What would you spend your time doing?   Quote:“Do what you feel in your heart to be right, for you’ll be criticized anyway.” -Eleanor Roosevelt https://www.lifehack.org/articles/lifestyle/30-the-best-quotes-ever.html Travel? Because of the way the prompt is written I would have to say Israel. I would really enjoy taking a language course in Israel. Of course, if I went there I would like to see the sea of Galilee. And, I would have to visit all the places other vacationers go there to see. Who to bring? My daughter or one of my granddaughters. They are young enough to appreciate mobility of travel. But, I am not free to leave the country now and don't wish to be free of restrictions on my travel abilities. There are other countries I would like to meander around, England, Brazil, and Australia come to mind. But, only if the world were less a time bomb trying to find a way to explode. I really don't have any real urge to travel. I think instinctively, I know I'm safer right where I am now. Routine can be irritating. However, there is a peacefulness in routine that can be relied upon to keep one busy. I have 3 cats, 1 dog, and 2 parrots. I don't want anything to happen to them. I have to be here to take care of them. Also, going on a trip is someone else's dream. I don't want my body to be used to satisfy someone else's ideas about how I should be living. This isn't part of the prompt. But, there are no coincidences and lately I've had more than one suggestion about leaving. Summer moves on and I'm making progress toward winter. Be Safe.  is where the heart is. |
