Life Notes

I had to drive across the State of New Hampshire today for a doctor’s appointment. It was a beautiful sunny day, with all the bright colorful Autumn leaves sparking against the sky. Why this New England scene was so perfect that I drove past a farm with cows and horses and a flock of wild turkeys crossed the road in front of my car.

I reveled in the beauty around me, and fell in love with my state all over again. Summer is nice, spring is pretty (but it is also known as mud season) and winter can be tough, sloppy, but beautiful when the white snow flakes are falling into silence.

This made me recall about a time I lived in Florida. I was driving back from Miami to Punta Gorda, on the West Coast. We were driving along the Tamiami Trail (Rt 41).

The road take you through the Everglades. And at various times during the year the road would be lined with large and small gators. I remember one time telling Hubby, that if we got a flat tire, We were driving on it!

Florida was an okay place to live. Very tropical. Palm trees, pelicans, dolphins and more. Ours news reports were just about the rain and sun, but how many dog disappeared from peoples back yards, and how many giant alligators they had found in the local neighborhood.

Given the hurricanes, the tropical storms, the wildfires and tornadoes, I felt pretty confident when I told Hubby we had to move back home.

I told him this, and about 6 weeks later, our home in Florida, that we had owned for 6 years, sold, and we packed up and moved back home!

Yes, no matter where I go, or where I live, New Hampshire will always be home!
