Patty it looks like you have a wonderful place to escape to. That gives you the best of both worlds.
Although I miss the country I do enjoy the conveniences of city living. Having museums, art galleries, symphony hall etc., just a twenty minute drive away is great. We don't go to them as often as I would like but when we lived in the country to visit anyone of them was a days outing. As I have become older I have also appreciated having hospitals near by. Oh, but I do miss the country.

 

Katherine, I need to go there more often and really need to spend more than one night at a time. I breath deeper and freeer there. I know what you mean about the conveniences, though. I do have them close by here, too.

 

It's better to have it and not need it than to need it and not have it

 

I used to go there with two German Shepherds. They were my protection. The A-holie ex is not letting me see them, let alone take them up there.

 

That's great to hear. Hopefully, you never will. But I used to be a Boy Scout. I believe in being prepared.

 

^ I understand about that but I'm not going to go buy a shotgun. I think I'm safer up there than I am in my house due to the lack of people. No cops to call though.

 

Patty, you're great with dogs. Have you ever thought about getting yourself a Shepherd? I know the training process is a pita, but I'd be hard pressed to live without a dog.

 

^Oh, yeah, Darlene, all the time. My head whips around faster for a sheppy than for anything. I do think I'll get one in my future but not yet.
