Hello Florida!!!!! My Granddaughter, Lindsey, got me back on line. I’ll get back to you as soon as my life quiets down. Right now I want to spend time with my wonderful family.
OK. We moved to Elkton, Florida…just outside of St. Augustine. We have been adjusting from the desert to the jungle. I grew up around here and I had forgotten how this time of the year it storms nearly every single day… Lightning and thunder for about an hour or so…and my precious dog Georgia is terrified for the whole hour. My same wonderful granddaughter turned me on to CBD for anxious scaredy dogs. I’m testing it tonight. I hope it works! I’ll let you know.
Aside from the storms, we are beginning to feel more comfortable with our new community, We only have about 40 more boxes to unpack and Lord only knows what we will do with what’s in them. Our house is full already!!! I have moved enough in my lifetime to know feeling overwhelmed is to be expected but moving after 30 years in our desert home is REALLY overwhelming. My husband tells me often that “the boxes aren’t going anywhere so what’s the rush?”
My birthday is tomorrow and I am grateful for another year on this crazy globe we call earth. While I realize the earth is filled with challenges, I took a car ride today down through St. Augustine to Viliano Beach and the ocean on A1A and it was beautiful. There is a street just before the bridge to Viliano in St. Augustine that I believe is breathtaking. There is a lot of beauty all around us of we just go looking for it.
I must admit I was shocked at the number of houses on top of the dunes. So many it is hard to find the beach. When I was a young girl growing up here it wasn’t like that. I don’t believe today there is a single house worth less than a million dollars – I swear I believe a million dollars is like a thousand when I was a kid. There are lots of millionaires in Viliano building houses on the sand, even on Porpoise Point, where the first good hurricane will wash away. Back in the day there were small houses on stilts just off the dunes and they were built knowing they would likely be blown away with the storms. The houses now are huge and block out the view of the magnificent Atlantic Ocean.
Ah well….I really don’t like it…but nobody asked me for my opinion. And I really love the ocean and I can find a “walk through” and get on the beach and enjoy the awesome beauty.
I think I am getting more comfortable with my move from Vegas to St. Augustine. I think I will always miss my dear friends in Nevada. I’ll talk to you more often. I’ve been very lax with keeping my blog going. Things are calming down.
