yucky weather and ripping winds

there is a fall like appearance in the weather, making me feel like autumn is here. but I know that summer is here (Cairns) southern hemisphere and autumn is where I am from .. I bet the leaves are beautiful and the smell in the air is wonderful, with its crisp appeal and frosty overtones. Reminiscing is all i have, the amazing beauty that Oregon offers: My Family, My Friends My People My Place.
It is good to travel but somehow the autumn-time reconfirms the ebb and flow of life. As well, the cold winter that lurks and the aging process. even though i am not subjected to the season of autumn somehow i still feel the same and have a longing for my people and home. I know that home is where the heart is but usually mine is like all of ours in our chest, but lately mine is far away.

Hey Girl,
You asked "what are my people doing?" Well, besides missing you, I'll tell you what I'm doing. I just hung that great entrance mirror with hooks that I bought from you before you left. It looks great in this big beautiful house that we finally moved into, & I think of you every time I see it! (I wanted to write you sooner, but with moving I just got computer straightened out & finally up & running.)I caught up on all your posts & am lovin' following your trip. Wish I could meet you there & see all those wonders! If you get a chance to get on the web you can see pix of the house on the contractors web site. [dcbuilding.com] will open with the first 3 pix of this house. Then if you click on photo gallery a row of thumbnail pix will come up. The first 2 rows are other stuff, but rows 3 to 6 are all of our house. Check out the floor downstairs, it's all stamped concrete, even the brown wood planks are concrete. Pretty cool huh! Heat is under the floor so you have warm tootsies all winter. When you get back you definately must come & stay a few days. I retired in August so I'm home & free & no more commuting, YEAH!! Have a wonderful continuing "Great Adventure" & I will miss you lots until you are home again in Oregon. I send much love & hugs & good vibes that the rest of your trip will be prosperous & smooth sailing. You are too cool. Love Ya Lots, Chris

wake up and smell the coffee

Cold winds a blowin, sing songs a howlin. The weather is raw the weather is king. Shorter days knocking at the door. remembrances of yesteryear, the good old days, realizing they are permanently gone and that it will never be the same state again. Its a hard world to swallow sometimes, and especially as the time progresses and with that the expectations of adaption and evolution are ever present.. But it's easier to reflect than pro actively predict.! I am faced with the harsh reality that the place in the world that I am from , the magical all possible place that I come from is vanishing, slipping away and turning into a place of sour milk and no longer that rich golden land of milk and honey...... no dwelling but really dwelling. that is the state I sit in. the longing and desperation of knowing exactly how things would turn out. its gone its gone so gone gone gone... not hopeless just placeless spaceless danceless joyless empty outta wack adaptive acceptance

Beautiful weather as a bit of luck for a getaway weekend

I can cross three more cities and towns off my all mighty list of places to see in and around Belgie. On the drive outta town we passed through Luik aka Leige, a nice city with sketchy people and high crime, but nothing happened to us and so it was fine; we did however see two empty wallets strewn on the ground in a very short distance in addition there was a fare share of local panhandlers asking for some money for the fix of the day, but also there was a good police presence and therefore the safety was not to bad. The town its self was nicer then one would expect, its hidden and strange, there are many little towns around it so getting into the center one must drive down into the midden. There is new construction for the train stations and its modern and fresh. If one walks to the water there are historic buildings that are right out of the middle ages, rustic slanted and wooden appeal. quite cool really. After only speeking French, we moved on to MAASTRICHT, Holland. Large fresh ...
