Where in the World

As Lisa would say, Hello My Facebook Friends. Or rather, blogger readers.

I've never met anyone more upbeat than Lisa, my sister-in-law Donna's sister. Except maybe Peggy Mascia, who would call the devil sweetheart, kiss his cheek and turn him into an angel in 30 seconds flat.

I've learned a lot from these two about the power of happiness. It's about being happy, not waiting for happiness to show up. You'd be at the bus station a long time if you did that.

We're happily on the road again, leaving behind for a week or so the mortgage commitment, house inspection, door repair and furniture purchases, the arranging for the move of what's left of our old house that is in storage, and the trip to NY to oversee same. For now, we're just lazin' along, headed southerly on the west coast of Florida.

We should hitch up with Tony and Ellen, Art and Marge (or as I have always called them, Mart and Argie) this weekend, and then Nancy and Gary next week. So it will be a lovely Tarrytown reunion all around. I will collect all the latest townie gossip from Tony, who seems plugged into the local news there, pass it on to John, and we will bask in the glow of old friendships. That silver and gold thing is true, by the way. Old friends are golden.

Actually we're mostly gray, but we won't talk about that.

We had hoped to do the East Coast of Florida, but our new home calls to us and we need to be around, so it will be a quick trip back up to North Florida, where it was still in the 80's until the rain last night that cooled everything off. I wouldn't call this Fall, but it's nice to have a long sleeved shirt on. My t-shirts are looking awfully boring to me at this point. I need some variety.

Boy, I sure am boring if all I have to talk about is t-shirts and the banality of what I put on my back. I'll try and be more interesting next time. Meantime, I'm off to add a few words to the book. I only have 80,000 more to go. Piece a' cake.

Love to everybody.
