STAYING PUT MOVING ON
Sometimes we live in the same place where we were born and remain there all of our lives.
Sometimes we move away and never come back because of jobs, marriage, circumstances of all kinds.
Sometimes we choose where we will live and we have definite reasons for staying there even though we might be far from family.
1. Are you far from family and if so why? Would you like to have them closer and have you discussed that with them? All of our children are very close to us except one. Hannah and her husband and little boy are in upstate NY. My sister & one brother are 120 miles away from me and another brother about 1 hour away.
2. How did you come to live in the state you are in? How about the city/town. Both my husband Avery & I are Colorado born & raised. We have lived in this state our entire lives. He has lived in the Denver metro area since his 20's but I have been here in the Denver area since July 1983. My husband lived in KC, MO and Las Vegas, NV too. Ah...youth!
3. What good things keep you living where you are?
What's good about your state and town? We love Colorado except for the politics. We have lots of sunshine even on days when it is raining or snowing. There are lots of things to do and we love it. We love our town and neighborhood but the city recently put in place this pet limit. Instead of going after those who mistreat their pets, those who let them run wild even though there is a leash law and those that just don't care about their pets. But now we all suffer. Our daughter Rebekah went up against the city and we will remember this when it is time to vote. But of all the people there, the chief of police, the city attorney they stuck behind her when she spoke at a town meeting. So all the council people will hopefully be booted at the next election.
4. What things might convince you to move to another state or just another town? My lifelong friend Karen and her husband Chris live in Boise, Idaho. It is my kind of place. The citizens rule, the police protect the citizens and if we could move it is the one place we would go. Their governor is no nonsense and they do not have the illegal problem so many of this sanctuary cities and states have. They have homeless people but nothing like we have. I would also love to be a homeowner in our hometown. But unfortunately the liberal government has literally destroyed our town with drugs and illegals and homelessness and they could care less about their citizens who pay the taxes. My once beautiful childhood neighborhood as well as my husband's has been turned into a real hell hole! Very tragic and sad but again when the people keep electing the same sorry government you can not expect anything much. Like jobs or low crime.
"We have, as all will agree, a free Government, where every man has a right to be equal with every other man. In this great struggle, this form of Government and every form of human right is endangered if our enemies succeed." Abraham Lincoln
Felix the Cat was a favorite of mine and I always wanted the wall clock of Felix with his tail as the pendulum. Stop by and say hi to Mimi today.
