 It's close enough to when I will be moving to share a little about where I will be going.

I've lived on the west coast (California) and the east coast (St Augustine, Florida); the saltwater Gulf of Mexico (Panama City, Florida); smack dab in the middle of the country (Killeen, Texas); the Northwoods along the shores of the freshwater Lake Superior (Ashland, Wisconsin).

I'll now be moving to the Appalachian Mountain Range, a small community in the Allegheny Mountains.  The name Allegheny probably comes from the [click here> Lenape or Delaware First People's words "welhik hane" or "oolikhanna," which means 'best flowing river of the hills' or 'beautiful stream'. There is a Lenape legend of a tribe called "Allegewi" who used to live along the river.

Moving from an elevation of 673 feet above sea level, I'll be at a lofty 1,880 feet above sea level!

hello ...

         If you followed my journey from Panama City, Florida to the Michigan Upper Peninsula to Ashland, Wisconsin ... thank you, and welcome to a place that is "almost heaven" according to John Denver.  It will be a long journey to get here which I will share in future posts, but in one month's time, I will be in a new home, starting a new life filled with hope and adventures.

     I hope you will follow or subscribe to this blog and join me on the road to finding happiness, peace of mind, and ... dandelions.
