Chicago, any place any where but especially at Christmas...
 

Slice of heaven
 

This is where I was born and yes I saw Santa and his reindeer at Xmas time driving the roads on Xmas day through our kitchen window.

How magical! What a wonderful holiday memory.

I just bought a house that's like a little rural retreat in the middle of the city. I'm in a suburb of Seattle, on 1.4 acres of land. We have deer, coyotes, bobcats, birds, squirrels, and other wildlife I probably haven't even seen yet. I used to live in Seattle, on a very busy road, and it constantly amazes me how quiet it is here. Right now I'm curled up on the couch in my family room, with my spouse and our two dogs, and this is my little slice of heaven. I'm living in it every day.

Not only do reindeer pull Santas' sleigh at Xmas but moose work all year long as well. Gotta love my home.

That sounds so dreamy... congratulations!

The Blue Ridge mountains of Western North Carolina. My heart is still there. I can’t wait to go back. ❤️

Nina, congrats!

Since retiring & moving over to Kingston I've got birds, deer, coyotes, etc too, but unlike you, I'm not so happy about it.....:|

Give me a area with zooming traffic, honking horns, cars blasting music in their cars so loud you can hardly think, crowds of people jostling for space to walk on sidewalks, etc etc and I'm a happy camper!

Not to be morbid, but I'll have plenty of time to enjoy nature when I'm laid to rest.

I never thought that I would leave this land but life is change. I am planning a big move to the coast of Texas. A place I know well and have fished for more then 35 years. It is a group effort with dear friends and family.

I see myself there so I know that it will be a happy place.

Dear Chad,
I certainly don't know you "well" but I am convinced that no matter where you go there will be kindness, gentleness and a lot of love.

Today at home in front of my computer, glancing up now and then to take in the Christmas lights, cards and other decorations. Listening to, though not necessarily Christmas music, music I associate with Christmas because my father always played certain songs both day of and around that general time of year. Usually it's just background music to me but every year when it comes to this one I just have to stop, listen, give her singing my entire attention full focus. It's a wonder to me how some people say she was really wasn't all that gifted, talented a singer. I think though they don't want to admit it, secretly deep down they're just jealous.

Can't wait to go to one of those. Kitchen party called a scuff.

Thank you. I try every day to be happy and kind. Thank you for seeing me.

I sure hope they don't have downstairs neighbors!

LOL moe, its a house as there are few apt. buildings in there and many houses do not have basements. That is why we call it The Rock.

We have designed our new home. It will be a Spanish style home that is two stories with a big courtyard. It will be reinforced to stand up to hurricanes. Lots of fun rooms and suites. Mom is super excited and drew it out. I just need to find the land and a builder.

Boat weather
 

My slice of heaven is out on the Willamette river in our boat…. Just the two of us, sailing slowly in the wind, enjoying our time together. ❤️

Ot ain't where I am I can tell ya that! I was hoping to be in Tennessee this week, but it didn't happen
