Where is your slice of heaven?

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.

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.....

Mine is with my fiancee' & I curled up, together in the bed, in my apartment.

In the field by my window, is a gopher tortoise refuge, with ancient colonies they have built & are a protected species.

4 coyotes live in the woods at the back edge of this field, as does 6 hen turkeys & one big TomBaller.

There are 2 bald eagles who "nest" close by here & visit often.

A couple of hawks also nest here on top of this 3 story building!

Chris & I open my bedroom & LR window when she is here & the quiet...the peacefulness, the skies when the sun is setting, and the trees....large oaks, hibiscus outside my window....we are in heaven for sure.

We have been patiently waiting for the storms so we can lie at foot of my KS bed, with window open & watch the storm.

Last Sunday, I served her breakfast in bed with her coffee, and the fog was visible outside my window....it was 700AM. (I made her shredded, by me, potato hashbrowns, browned up extra crispy, avocado toast, creamy, cheese-y grits, sugar sweet tomatoes, and jalapeno slices, and her beloved hot sauce!

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.

I sure hope they don't have downstairs neighbors!
