We used to vacation on my grandpaws farm. My wife is from Kentucky too. Detroit became do bad. My wife said, I wanna go back to Kentucky. Do I said, I always liked Kentucky. Let's go. And so we moved to Kentucky. My wife had been disabled for years with Arthritis. We moved here When I was 59. At sixty I just couldn't work anymore so I Applied for my social security& got it on the 1st try. Do We're retired and love our new home town. London KY. |
My Manny was born in Kentucky. I am trying to remember where, but he was raised in North Carolina.
I was a Navy Brat, mum and dad served for a few years. Dad was from the West Coast, mum was from New England. I was born in DC and then we moved to Washington. They had a nasty divorce and then mum moved me and my sister, Anna, back to Maine where I grew up. Moved here a couple years ago and ran into Manny, who moved here for his job. :) |
Ah okay that is wonderful to hear, the Cheshire Pisces. I guess I just got confused because I was not aware that there was a city in Kentucky called London *nods* but now I do! You learn something new everyday
Wow that is a lot of traveling on your end too, Clair Voyant |
My mum is from one of the suburbs out of London (Dad is from Arizona), so as a kid we did a lot of flying back and forth during the summers to spend time with family over there! ^-^ But other than that we didn't move around a lot. :)
|
Oh wow, that must have been fun to travel back and forth between two countries! At least, I imagine it to be!
|
It was fun to get to know my family over there for sure! The flights were a crazy time for young kids, but we got used to it. Because it meant a summer of awesome fun with cousins, and coming back with accents so thick that none of our friends back home could understand us. [lol] It was awesome! :P
|
I like traveling... well, seeing new places.
I hate flying. [lol] |
Flying... can be stupid and stressful, but it gave me a way to get to know my English family in person, at a young age, and for that I'm so grateful to planes! :) It gave me a way to get to know my grandparents before they passed. <3
|
That sounds lovely. :) I imagine a good amount of traveling in my life, especially with Manny's family in the south and mine scattered.
|
I'm so thankful as well that my granddad got to meet Becca before he passed - but he never got to meet Soph. :( But he got to meet one of my two girls.
Could driving be a way of going with traveling for you, Clair? :) To avoid planes? |
No, not an option. But that's life.
Manny will understand my panicky behavior during the traveling part of our travels. [lol] |
Aw, darn!! Do you have any way of taking anything natural to try to help you calm down?
My mum haaaaaaates flying. Like with a passion. xDD I'll have to ask her what she's found to help her - she told me... and I promptly forgot. Bad daughter I am. xDD LOL |
Airports r a pain. But the actual flight was always fun... Cept for a bad storm or too
|
I have OCD-like obsessive thoughts when I am flying. Illogical thoughts that I know make no sense but can't get them out of my head. If I don't do this, the plane will crash. If I don't do that, it'll be my fault we all die. If I relax that means I don't care if the planes stays up... I know it's crazy, but the thoughts bombard me when I am flying.
Thankfully, Manny was diagnosed with OCD himself... so he knows what those thoughts are like. So when I tell him I'm having those thoughts while we travel, he (though his own OCD is not connected to travel) he is compassionate. He knows that panicky feeling. |
I'm so used to the insanity of airports and air travel that it's just become part of the norm. (that's what happens when long flights start at a very young age).
Aww! :( That sounds stressful Clair! :( |
It's very stressful and exhausting... but landing in a new place, seeing new people and things... I CRAVE that. I want to see the whole world. Manny just came home from Japan. I have always wanted to go to Japan; my parents met there (Military sent them there).
|
Traveling is fun and getting to see new places! We've not done much traveling since we had the kiddos - we did take the one trip over to England when Becca was 2 1/2... oh I can't remember it was awhile back. The years have started smushing together.
|
[lol] In a couple weeks, Manny and I will have been together two years! Time is so weird! You blink and it's been years!
I promise, you'll blink and the girls will be off to college! |
I've been to Mexico, Canada, Spain, Italy, Sicily, Egypt, Dubai, Tunisia, France, turkey&Greece.
I think that's all. |
I've been over the US, and all over England in my summers over there.
Clair: Oh I don't doubt it. Mum was questioning the other day how I'm almost 30. |
WOW CHESHIRE! That's incredible! :D Work? Or just adventure?
My mum still chokes up every birthday. Next year will be big for us. I was born four days before mum's 25th birthday and next year, I'm 25. |
It's rough for mom for me too because Carlie would have been 30 with me this year. My birthday is a struggle for all of us.

And I loved exploring new ports and revisiting the good ones. |
I can't imagine a pain worse than losing a child... even if that child is an adult...
@ Cheshire: Were you in the navy? |
