Ronda,

I love the idea of the "Bubble" but for some reason I am stuck on "Never"Never Land as in
Peter Pan.

It perfectly describes my feelings when I am in TV. I feel so young and alive and I never have to grow up if I dont want to. TV is my Never Never Land and I can be tinkerbell if I want to be.
I know I know groan!!! Sometimes I do get a little carried away! ;D

Welcome back Sam. wav Glad you had a safe trip. Oh, how I hate I 95, and I will have to travel it in August. Not looking forward to that part of the trip back to New Hampshire.

Wish you had brought some of those 8 inches of rain back to TV with you.

The rain yesterday sure helped, but we could use some more.

JohnnyM: I am so sorry about your house sale, and so impressed with your positive attitude. Inspiring. See you at the TOTV luncheon, old friends will be back and new ones arriving. Can't wait, we'll have lots of fun. ;D ;D

Nonie can I join you? I with you.

Call it what you will "bubble, never never land, home" it is all so amazing.
I wish I could find a word or saying to describe how it feels when you return to TV from "outside".
Elation, comfort, excitement, contentment, all those for sure.
I just know that even when I am gone for a day returning is always such a pleasure. How lucky we all are that we found TV, TOTV and all of the new friends we have made.

Nonie, your new avatar (which I know is your doggie Clara) is SO cute.
I know what you mean about being stuck in "Never Never Land" vs The Bubble. I have to daily remind myself that Canada is a beautiful place and that I am lucky to be alive and well, and financially secure.
That I have good friends here who I've known forever. And that whether I am in the Bubble or Never Land, I am still better off than 95% of the people in the world.

A month has gone by since I've left TV. Soon it will be time to pack for the cruise. In the meantime, I am determined to dance in the sunshine when I can, and curl up by the fireplace with a good book on the cooler days.

As Johnny said, we are living God's plan and we should make the most of every day.

Bare with you 1100%

I feel it is important we all recognize how lucky we are. In more ways than one.

I just received an interesting email from our village scribe. Seems a 6' gator is hanging out around our mailboxes. I hope he doesn't think he has found his bubble....a nice supply of well fed older adults! ;D

Totally agree. I left one of the most beautiful cities in the world and a state I truly loved. I left mountains and my beloved Yosemite. I left my friends of 30 years. I came to TV. I've made new friends that are as dear to me as my friends in the Bay Area. My cats are in kitty heaven as long as they can go on the lanai. My daughter is doing well, working and living on her own. I have yet to go a day in TV that something hasn't made me smile.

I am so greatful for my life, my friends and even that my business is starting to take off. Life isn't perfect but it is good. God truly is kind.

How true, Red. We are so blessed to live here.
