Late spring is so lovely with all the birds nesting and taking care of their babies. We don't get much here other than sparrows and the odd blackbird, magpie, starling and robin. Oh and sometimes some tits visit. We got many more varieties when we were down South. That's city living for you! Thanks for your prayers. We pray for you and Bob also.

I hope it heals fast; I will pray for you. <br />I loved the story above; it was awesome. Many years ago, I told my husband that I would be happy no matter where we lived or what size of home we were in. We have lived in small and big homes and I kept that promise and been very happy. I actually would love in a tent with this man of mine and feel just as happy. <br />Have a sweet day tomorrow. Sending prayers, love and hugs your way!

Now currently living in the 18th town of my lifetime...those are in 6 states, on both coasts...and one interior state. I think you could say that of all but one. One other factor to inquire about when moving to a town is the town history...how did the town come to be...when was it started and why. I WISH we had known more about 1 town, the main one where we raised our kids. The main factor I found was that it was begun about 1948 during WW2 for people who were making part of the bomb that fell on Japan. It was a huge secret and yes, people were watched and investigated. Now those days were long gone by the time we moved there in 1984 but still a lot of the original people were there, retired the ones who came at the first. It was for one thing a very closed town. The first question they asked us was, "how long have you lived here?" and there was even a street called "Newcomer". I told Hubby, one of the first things we will look into when choosing another place to live is whether there is a street called "Newcomer" and then we will know to get our running boots on!! We felt too, all the secretness was part of the problem there. We knew others who felt the same way...we still have a couple friends from our years there. But 1 of those left long ago, and 2 stayed, one of those 2 would have left if her husband would have. So that tells a story too. I guess life is never as simplistic as we would wish. One of those towns I have lived in was a real Paradise...and I have longed my whole life to return and it was not my choice to leave it either (was still at home with my parents)...we were only there a year. There really can be places that are so wonderful you cannot describe it. Oh, and it was mostly a very poor town. So money is not the determining factor either...good people are!!<br />Elizabeth xoxoElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07529409389057290042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-45383938725886284272020-05-20T16:37:23.113+01:002020-05-20T16:37:23.113+01:00Hi Marie~

Stay moving and yes, hot showers are wonderful for aches and pain. Take some Motrin or Tylenol if you have it. <br /><br />I love my small town...which is growing by leaps and bounds. But, it's still my town, and most likely the place where I will live until I die. My daughter, Amber, and her family are moving here in June. They bought a house about 3 miles from us, we are so excited! They considered building a home on a little piece of property we own right next to us, but building right now is a nightmare, and it's very hard to find a good contractor. <br /><br />I wish I could be there to hear the birds singing, I would love that! Late spring is one of my favorite times of the year, all the beautiful little birds make me very happy.<br /><br />It's cloudy and windy here today. The highs will only be in the 50's, so it will be a cold one as well. I'm hoping to get the rest of my garden in next week, so fingers crossed! <br /><br />Have a wonderful evening Marie, and take care of yourself! You and Todd are always in our prayers...much love to you two!<br /><br />Hugs and Love,<br />BarbBarbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158897469583069249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-82475572090845355792020-05-20T14:16:40.778+01:002020-05-20T14:16:40.778+01:00It's always the next day worse..you will feel ...It's always the next day worse..you will feel better soon.I agree with Elaine..<br />I love my townâ„La Table De Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04358539954508050792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-762115079758642698.post-63753899568756105492020-05-20T10:18:42.280+01:002020-05-20T10:18:42.280+01:00Hope you feel better very soon, Marie.
