Hehe! I told you I am a New Englander, right? I also went to school in New Hampshire for a year, but, everything is close and I could go to Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts and Rhode Island, and Connecticut easily in one day. :) It is our preference to live there.
I went back home in the Fall and did many hikes. My daughter works as an au pair/nanny One works for the Department of State, the other a lawyer. And always, always traveling. So yes. I get it.
You have seen more, done more than most people will ever do in a lifetime! Thank you for sharing your story! I loved it and It is a unique place, but, not at all what I expected when I got here!
#MarketFriday loves you!
Oh yes! Everything is close there. I love New England - it has a beauty all its own. And the people are different. Well they were way back then, to my rather protected and naive South African mind.
While it must be hard on you to have your children far away at least it give you an excuse to travel. My parents-in-law yesterday were bemoaning all their other (and adult) grandchildren living so far away, and some overseas. One of my children spun around singing "But Ouma - WE ARE HERE!!!!!"
Only the one in Grad School. I have two others home. But, one gone is like a big hole. :)
