Thought I'd be spending my years with my husband of 34 yrs. After spending 23yrs just 30 mins. from Canadian border in VT., and with a now empty nest, I'd had enough of the grey cold and snow/ice storms. Still it was hard to give up the people, safety and beauty of VT, until I found the warmth of TV.
My daughter says it was like dropping me off at Collage, and you know she's right. Where else can you be with wise joyous people your own age with so much to do and opportunities to learn. And lets not forget all the dogs that make your day just walking by and saying hello or joy riding in carts with their ears blowing in the breeze. I even get a kick out of everyone parading their "doggie bags" on the return walks and the now much lighter less prance of the pups.
Sometimes when I go for my swim and the pool is empty, the birds perch on the roof watching me take what they must think is some kind of very long exotic bird bath. Does toweling off mimic preening in their eyes?
