The Terrace


Sometimes you may just get in your car and drive to a special place to relax. For me (Bill) back in the US in Massachusetts during my young adult years, that would have been the Blue Hills or Wampatuck State Park or just getting onto I-95 and cruzing up to New Hampshipre to get on the Kancamagus Highway in the White Mountains and back. In Wyoming, that would have been a day trip to Sheridan or the hot springs. When we are in Pennsylvania with Merrilea's mom and dad, for me it's driving through the hills to Amish country and purchasing some of their GREAT cheese!

Here, it takes a bit longer to get places. 45 kilometers (28 miles) may take an hour or more. We've gone to some 'hill stations' - low mountains to the west of our city. There's one place that is known throughout our state for strawberries.

Sometimes, if we just want to 'get away' we sit on our bedroom patio, here called a terrace. It's a small area but it overlooks that park and the mountains to the south of our city. We get a really good breeze there as well. ... So make a cup of hazelnut coffee, take a Bible or another family member and just sit for a while!

Hiya. Reminds me of our porch overlooking the backyard, esp after Tim mows it out...... Good book, light breeze, warm sun, birds chirping, squirrels/chipmunks/rabbit roaming through the yard, good ICED cup'o Joe (French Vanilla, cream, sugar, melt the sugar, thank you very much), comfy chair..... Doesn't happen often with our schedule, but next time I'm out there I'll think of you guys....
Love yah.
Me.
