A bittersweet trip to the old neighborhood (and I forgot my camera)

[time_on_fire]

I had semi-reliable source say that my old road had been burned - 40-50 acres worth. I had to find out if my old house was still there, so I made the trek this afternoon.

Remember when the stalker chick called me shortly after I moved, and proceeded to tell me that they guy that bought my house cut down all of the woods, and that broke my heart?

Well

I am so very sorry about the drought you are experiencing. By the end of next month that will be us in the Midwest too

Makes you mad the lies they tell just to move a property.

Well, she told me this AFTER I sold the house and moved. I worried that the buyer of my house would clear "my" woods that I loved so well.

I almost cried when I saw all the trees still standing. I miss my woods.

And they're legal too!

How nice to feel welcome at your new home.

Sorry about the old neighborhood, but better days ahead...

I swear I could almost hear your contented sigh when you wrote about pulling into your new driveway. Welcome home indeed!

How psycho is it though that they chick would lie about your woods. I mean really? What kind of motive would she have other than just to be a freak and upset you?????

The good news is that I've been gone long enough that I once again appreciate some of the grand beauty of the area. The pine-lined roads and their meditative monotony, the pastures full of longhorns, the hills, the sunsets. I loved this imagery *Pets da purdy words* Words ARE your friend :)
