Green Acres

It's a good thing I have a smart GPS or who knows where I would be today - trying to decide whether to play the theme song from Deliverance on my banjo, or sing "bop bop, Green Acress is the place to be; farm living is the life for me..." decisions, decisions.  There were slight apprehensions when I couldn't find 2 streets my GPS was trying to direct me to take.  Only later did I find out that the name of 2 of the streets had been changed.  Needless to say, I did not have the faintest idea where I was or in what direction I needed to go. 

I stopped by to see my friends who have moved to "God's Country" in North Florida.  I use this title because even the satellites on my phone or car could not get any signals; only God can reach this place easily. 

It WAS peaceful and quiet - The birds were the only things"twittering". Trees, trees and more trees; lots of quiet, and more trees.  I DID sleep 9 hrs that night which might or might not have had to do with PT at Mayo, and a 4.5 hr drive in the sun, or a very long day beginning very early.  Who knows for sure.  I do know this-it was good to see them after a very long absence.

These are the type friends that are always there-no matter how long between visits, we just picked up where we left off.  We all went to college together 40+ years ago and have lived close to each other several times in those years.   In fact, two of the three times I've been married, Byron facilitated.  We have a lot of history, and they are very dear to me.

Since then, I've been visiting drs, picking up information, and continuing to try to get healthy.  I now have a "bipap" machine to help me breathe better at night.  I am sleeping longer and deeper which allows really wierd dreams.  I may even include one or two sometime just to let you know how really crazy I am.

Tonight we are going to MK to see the former electrical street parade and new fireworks.  It will certainly be a good time had by all.
