Restless....

So I just felt like I needed to blog. I just seem to have so many thoughts running through my head and I can't seem to organize them. This is a warning, I have no idea where this blog post is going. Summer is basically over. I am moving in a few days and all of that has left me in a funk. The funk has gotten especially bad over the last 2 days.

My readers are probably beginning to think this whole being in a funk and uninspired thing is the usual. But it tis not my friends! While I may be chronically sarcastic and sassy, I am basically a genuinely happy person! This blog just catches me on my off moments. This summer I have worked in a small town about 6 miles away from my hometown. This town has a population of probably 100. If they are lucky. One of my tasks is to walk from the old school building where my office is located, down to the post office and get the mail. A distance of about 2.5 blocks. Go another block and you have come to the end of the town. While on these walks to get mail and drop mail off I have snooped around this near skeleton of a town. I have found that all the buildings have wonderful potential in my opinion. I have also looked down the streets and seen some houses with really great architecture. I have played pretend and I have successfully fixed up many of these properties. Complete with new paint jobs, windows, removal of trees, and new landscaping. I have also moved people in who care about their properties and the town. In my mind the town is now charming and lovely. Something like a Mayberry. Ya know?!

I as well have moved into this town. I live in a beautiful Craftsman bungalow style home. Some days it is a barely there blush pink with off white trim and others it is a more traditional, but still original and fun, craftsman color. Either way it highlights the comfy and warm craftsman architecture. I hope you enjoyed your escape to my pretend town. I get all caught up in the nostalgia there.

In real life, this town is really old and most of the residents are elderly people who probably saw this town when it was really kickin! The houses are really charming but just need some love. The trees are probably my favorite part. They are really tall and wonderful. The just add to the character. I am not completely blinded by love of this town. There is the occasional crack house. Ok, I don't know if they actually do crack there but some are sketchy, alright. For the most part people just live there. Its quiet, and I'm telling ya, the houses are cheap! I might buy one just for fun!

Well maybe I should spend more time in this town...it seems to inspire quite the blog posts!

Blessings!
