Today...we are taking it slow. Not listening to the news...I am living in my own world. Savoring the last couple days of precious time away from everything familiar. In total awe at the way my life works. And beyond blessed to have so many Angels around me. We are moving further south...the fire of the first day of Autumn starts to hide a bit more...and I am once again left breathless by the beauty around me. The park where my Hubby went sledding as a kid. The canopy of teals..lime..and crayola crayon green so shades the paths...you can barely see a foot ahead of you! I fed quick stripped chipmunks that dated at warp speed to steal the biggest chucks of breadcrust! Cheeks popped out so wide...adorable! And they looked like they were having as much fun as I was. We rolled by the schools..houses..party spots. So interesting to watch my husband recall those things that are embedded so deeply in him. His eyes are never as blue as they are here. We went to Hamburg beach...where he learned to swim. The same place he..and his buds submerged a vehicle when the frozen ice crackled beneath them! So many stories! We toured the rusting dinosaurs of the abandoned steel plants that loom over the waterfront like some ancient city suddenly vacated by an awful event. And right across the street...muddy row houses still very alive with tricycles.. and trampolines..and faded plastic toys sprinkled about the yard. The love of family...no matter where. When we made our way out of the township... I was given a reminded that we are never alone. Met a darling young lady while chirping in predictable fashion with anyone that would listen at the Checkout. Lol. A stunning woman looked at me, and shared she was, in fact, from Dunnellon! She never budged as I flew around the corner and almost lifted hed off the floor giving her a big, fuzzy, biker chickie hug!! Now...heres the wild part. She popped in on FB. She is actually married to the nephew of some of my husbands peeps!! I almost fell over! Small world... Oh hell yeah! Still cant believe that one. One of the coolest experiences ever!!!! We ended up back at the lake for a sunset dinner at our regular spot...Hoaks . The best roast beef on Weck in the world. Afterwards we waddled to the car (sheltered from the windy 45°). and watched the longest sunset ever. The flame kissed orb was so bright through the strands of purple and peach clouds it left trails in our vision! The oranges so vivid..it actually appeared to become liquid solder as it slinked below lake level! Wonderful end to a wonderful day. So....this morning , those are the thoughts I will be taking with me as I move further south. Hopefully.. I can catch up with The Queen of Leon today...and have our last night up here before reality sets. Gotta fly...just so happens my man booked us a room next door to a coffee roaster. He is a quick study... Lol. Make it an awesome day..hug your family. Xox
