ON THE BACK BURNER

I just checked the calendar. I have been here for 3 months. Unbelievable. I am still happy being in a state of not doing much of anything. Not very exciting , but it feels good. I didn't realize that I needed this unbusiness. How would I have known that I could be content to move rocks around, mow,read and just sit and look at sky, water and trees. I have no idea how large our house was in Evanston. It was a Victorian with an upstairs, a downstairs , a basement and an attic and a 4 car garage. We had stairs in the foyer and stairs in the kitchen that went up and let the kids run in circles.We downsized to a 2 bedroom condo, in a Chicago high rise ,then to a 2 bedroom villa in Florida. Now I am content in a 27 foot third wheeler , parked in  my sons back lot. Interesting how your needs can change and how easily I adapted to it. It is all I really need.
