Escape the Okie Zone

Never have wonderful things seem to fall into place for me and now us!
Found some very solid renters who will actually work on the place..
I am excited about the mother that is wanting to help her family move into a home before they are forced to move out of apartments that have been totally abandoned by management!
So now they have paid cash up front and a check to make up for their sweat equity...I'm sure they will fall in love with my home as many others have before...it will be so wonderful to view the results of their efforts!
I'm thinking that the home will be paid off by the end of the year..
School is starting again after a much needed fall break! The weather could not have been better in our trek through the heartlands of the US!

It is so cool sharing your life with a new adventurous soul! It get's expensive going long distances with the gas and motels!
It was really cool meeting my muse's hillbilly family...actually I was pleasantly surprised with her parents. The Dad used be a very competitive tri-athlete and the Mom teaches HS math...
It is such a wonderful breath of fresh air to meet a young lady without the issues of dysfunctional families as a background''

I wonder how some of my ex gfs would have ended up if they came from functional families...Maybe we would already be parents since those types of ladies are far and few between...especially the older one looks in the market of availability..

"There is something about you... something within you that is miraculous and special. What is it? How do you nurture it? How do you keep it safe?" ( from "question of the day")

What I meant to say earlier so as not to upset any readers for not answering the question correctly:
I believe that many of us can have something miraculous and special to give to the world if we understand our strengths and weaknesses...
We can nurture the wonderful gift of giving when we see the results of our gifts....
I keep it safe when regardless of what others say I will walk tall as I know my students will when they feel good about what talents they have discovered within themselves!

History has demonstrated that the most notable winners usually encountered heartbreaking obstacles before they triumphed. They won because they refused to become discouraged by their defeats.

I'm here at a hotel with internet access and with my wonderful muse as we travel across this "great state or what" (when they advertise for this state on the news)

I'm about to see her family in the hillbilly state of Arkansas...
I am having so much fun in a mild Hunter S. Thompson philosophy(?)
My house is falling apart and it has rain spots on the ceiling from all the rain leaking through the roof!...The renter vacated my place owing a month's rent and the electricity still going!
The weather feels like Indian Summer on our trek taking care of business and city stickers left on the garage door telling me to mow the jungle of a lawn or get rid of garbage...(a friend comes over with his pal to help me move the desk from the side to more garbajjj in to the garage)...
