RE: Buy me a Lighthouse with Market Friday

You are not the single one who loves lighthouses! :)
Just 2-3 days ago I was talking with livinguktaiwan about it and that it's very hard to see a lighthouse in Romania just because there are very few and very hard to be reached, but they seem soooo fascinating in my eyes!

Really? How cool! There is something about lighthouses for sure! I was born and raised on the Atlantic Coast, so lighthouses were always a part of my life, many were more than just beacons of light and they took on a personality of their own.

It always seemed like a fantasy to be running the lighthouse, even when they became automated. There are some that are hard to reach, making them even more exciting. I remember reading this years ago and yes!! I wanted to do this! :)

Many keepers were able to have their families with them at the lighthouse. They lived in quarters that were connected to a lighthouse or a house nearby. Family members often contributed to the job; in fact, there are many instances of women actively participating in their husbands’ duties, and of women who inherited the position of keeper upon the death or incapacity of a husband or a father, and then kept the position for many years or even for life.

Yes!!! Who wouldn't want to be in that family, yes??? Thanks for stopping by and you know #MarketFriday loves you!
