When you move from one place to another, East to West, north
to South whatever it may be, how do you stop forever comparing everything? Do
you ever stop? I don't want to be that person that is forever saying
"didn't do it like that up North" or "thats not what I am used too". I've met those people,
and I didn't like them and I just wanted to say "well you are here now and
this is how we do it and if you don't like it get on the south bound bus".
Now I am saying that to myself before someone says it to me. (except I say North bound bus).
So, I will focus only on the good things and try to stop
comparing and relating everything to the North.
The birds sing to me every morning outside my glamper well
before the sun is up.
When the sun shines through my yellow curtains at dusk it
casts a glow that make me feel like the sun specifically choose me to set on.
I don't need to tell you how cozy rain is on a tin sounds do
I?
I have claimed a tree to have supper under every evening
behind my glamper, when i am done eating I lay on my back and admire it from
the bottom up, it may only be one tree but when looking at it from that view
all I can see is tree, making me feel like i am surrounded by trees. I now have
time to have long slow sit down suppers. I like that.
I found a Charlie Pride record, someone wrote July 21 1976
on it. Yes I have a record player...don't you?
They don't carry my favorite wine at the local liquor store,
but I found a new favorite, turns out I wasn't that attached to it.
You don't need a "sewing room" to sew.
Found a farmer that sells farm raised beef right from his
farm....pure beef from clean cows, with
no filler or antibiotics or whatever other crap they feed those store cows....and
in small packages, individual steaks and 1 lb packages of hamburger....for single
people and for people with a glamper fridge with a freezer that is smaller than
your average dictionary. Still need to find farm eggs. Would I be so lucky and
find farm cream? Farm cream in my coffee, on my potatoes, in my cabbage soup,
cream sauce on my pasta, strawberries and cream, corn and cream....I could go
on, I like me some cream.
There is a U-pick strawberry farm up the road. This is a
good thing, with or without cream.
Found a grocery store that sells small cakes...good ones
too.
I don't miss my 3 bedroom 2 bathroom house....not one bit.
I am going to have an amazing container garden.....just you
wait, it will be amazing, I promise. I am going to blow your mind at how many
vegetable I am going to grow on this deck, even though it's facing north.....a
non gardener must of built this, why would anyone have a north facing
deck?
There are a lot, mucho much, apple trees on the golf course
where I work, I will be making apple juice this fall....oh yes.
It's a 10 minute drive to the nearest store to buy a bag of
chips....that's a good thing.
At least once a day I have to gently chase a bee out of my
house.....reminds me of my Mexican house. I Like that. This of course is
because like a heathen I always leave the door open. Heathens do that apparently,
they're also the ones that don't believe that bees make the world go round. Yes
bees make the world go around, be nice to bees.
There is a big old grey cat sitting on my deck, he isn't
mine but he comes for love every few days. He looks and growls like a grey
panther but he purrs like a baby. Is he my new summer cat? Hope my old summer
cat is ok.
I found a beach....nuff said.
Supper under a tree, pretty much every evening |
Growl growl.....can you come out and love me please |
my new tea table |
I found a beach a 15 minute drive from my house......alll will be well now. |
yup....if you need me I will be here.....a lot. |
A thrilling second hand store find. A small 3 cup pot and a 5 cup tea pot. |

Perfecto!
There is a lot of serenity in this post. I love your al fresco dining area. And your record player. And your Keffiyeh curtains. Very homey.
Love it all you are settled. TO find a beach so close, very good. One day tell us about the job please.
