Living Small – See Shore?

Most of the water features in our small city consist of storm drainage ponds or man made lakes. Given the need to stick close to home these days, you can forgive people for fantasizing about being down at the sea shore. Alas, this will not happen any time soon.

See Shore?

Real or illusion,

one might forgive confusion.

Just a frozen pond.

The seas were angry that day, my friend.
At least, there were gulls.
Housing development, not cottages on the sea shore.
Our Canada Geese can float at last. No more “hard” water.

After working for 43+ years (38 years 7 months with my last company), I finally got that promotion I waited my entire career for……retirement. I have been exploring this new career for the past 3+ years and while it is not always exciting, the chance to do what I want for myself and my family instead of what my company wanted me to do has been rewarding. While I still miss the social aspect of working with a team of great people, I have managed to keep in touch with many from my former team and I have many friends and family members who now fulfill this part of my life. Now that my Patty has retired, we are able to spend more time in pursuits and with people who are near and dear to us. I enjoy photography, gardening, working with my hands, walking, cycling, skiing, travelling, reading and creating special photo and video productions obtained in my first pastime. I may not become wealthy in any of these pursuits, but I already feel I am rich in life experiences far beyond any expectation.

  2. I would love to visit one of Sligos beautiful beaches! But we are still not allowed to go anywhere and traveling freely within Ireland will be only possible in August ( if there’s no new cases) I can see myself going crazy 😂😂😂

    1. I hear they are relaxing the distance Irish citizens can travel, at least. Slow progress, but progress. Our “beach” was only about 1 km away inside the city boundaries. Hell, we will grab onto any illusion. Thanks for reading and stay well. Allan

      1. Our travel distance has been extended from 2km to 5km but at the same time non essential travel is still forbidden. It’s a slow progress and Ireland will be opened in a very detailed step-by-step programm. we’ll get there eventually! Have a good day.
