just words...

wish for advice please...

has anyone in the bloggy world ever gone from a . com to just a blogspot again ...at the end of March 2025 I am not gonna stop paying for my . com any more in this foreseeable future??! i assumed way back when that it would go into something to make a bit of money, I might hook up with other travel folks or folks wishing to do as other blogger once did, but??! ... what a joke now that i look back on it. I have found it tough to get in with the other bloggers, oh well, "c'est la vie" is the saying i do believe, we all have dreams some happen, others are squashed to complete mush. wondering if you are able to keep your photos or what will be there when it is gone? it doesn't really matter, I will not be heartbroken they are gone if they are as such, but hope they will somehow stick around, some how, some way?!? 

update in the real world, or daily life: 

we had a tree fall on your house, nothing that problematic relatively speaking ...it will not be cheap (but what is this day and age, lol. humor is always the way for me, on how i try to keep positive and so on, gotta keep pluggin' along if you get down and out and get angry and other sad kind of feelings, what good does that do you or for your mental well being, not worth it.)  ... gutter or 2, roof shingles, and some flower boxes are needed ...guess we will see? for now we are waiting on our neighborhood organization to decide will it be a joint thing or trying to decide who is on what side of the property stakes. theirs. ours. the hubs is hoping we will take care of our house repairs and they will take care of the tree removal??! that storm which fell right after Valentines day 2025, was lots of quick falling rain for us in eastern VA (had it been colder it would have been that nasty ice or maybe a huge snowfall, but they are still calling for other weather this coming end of the week? never know.) and then wind ...not a good mixture and sadly this tree didn't know the rules of  knowing to fall away from the house not on it or to close to it. silly tree. 

hope your lives are going well in February 2025. take care. drop me a comment. advice is appreciated or maybe you might know of someone else in the bloggy world who has done something similar?? thanks. - E.

I have eschewed all advertising and marketing on my blog. It was dumb for me. It makes a difference when trying to comment elsewhere.
I am so sorry about the tree. I am grateful we didn't have an ice storm this year. It cost us $3000 last year, with two storms. sigh. As I told my first accountant husband, 'It's only money!'

Bar U Ranch National Historical Site, Alberta, Canada

"Bar U Ranch" , National Historic Site. Established in 1882, it was huge ranching operation  "even more info here." .  if you know anything about me, you will know I have always wanted to live on a farm, own a farm, have horses, cows, dogs, cats, garden, fields, quiet & peace the whole 9 or is it 10 yards. I want a mountain view like in the movie "Legend of the Fall" .  so when we got the chance to visit this location I really enjoyed seeing how the ranchers came in a took over the whole ranching/cattle business. it was hard work, long hours but if you had the right team you would do just fine. the shot over the campfire is a pot of coffee & hot water. the lady, let me see, i think her name was Greta, that could so be wrong but it is what is popping in my head this moment. she was great at telling the story. these men would all do different jobs. the chef would run with all his team ahead of the folks to set up and get ...

This post is in memory of my friend: Tina Forrester aka. "CameraGirl". She and her husband were lost this week in a tragic car accident. Here is her bloggy link if you would like to see her outstanding photography: "East Gwillimbury CameraGirl, Exploring Central Ontario (CANADA) ... and beyond" . We both shared such a love for travel & photography. You will be missed. Rest In Peace, great "CameraGirl", RIP! ( : Where do we even start?, I continued to say to my hubby throughout our trip to Washington, Oregon, northern CA back in August 2015, that I wondered how I could take a picture of the whole tall tree? The trees in in the eastern US are huge, but the trees out west are gigantic, massive, huge!! There are .... THEY ARE! ...how do I even begin to show a picture of these awesome trees? I don't own a fancy camera just a normal point and shoot. How do I express to you the magnitude of how tall these massive trees are? they are huge!!! & will you...
