Wow, you could easily sell your house and travel for the rest of your life.

Kind of like me, I live in Los Vegas but we live in the southwest part of the city about 35 minutes with traffic from the strip where all the casinos are located. It's like a whole other planet. We go four times a year to see the botanical gardens at the Bellagio Hotel and that's it.

Vegas has been cooler the last several winters and had more rain than usual.

Hi, zLyn, thankyou. I’d forgotten I’d written this story until you took the tour to Coober Pedy. What a strange place. Thank you, I hope everyone enjoyed it there and at least found an Opal to take home.

Change occurs when we least it expect it. I know for me seeing the world again through my children's lives helped me grow as I'm sure it did you. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.

In response to "Tricky words"

It's no different than my four children, politics are better not mentioned.

We had a nuclear power plant in Maine, the alarms would go off and it felt like death every time it happened. My first husband worked there quite often as a machinist and there were too many incidences where he had absorbed to much radiation and would have to wear special suits and walk for hours to sweat out the excess. Sometimes it would take over a week that he and co-workers were kept in isolation rooms until they were safe. Nuclear power plants come with more risks than they tell people.
The one in Maine had to be closed and sealed because of the reactor cracking. So many families in that area had cancer afterwards, it's terrifying what lies ahead.

Maybe Australia is luckier than we are here in the USA. Mining and exporting uranium is something, but the danger of it when put to use is another. As you said, "I’ve found it’s best to not get into political discussions with anyone." Imagine me with two sons who are the exact opposites of each other in every sense of the word. I always walk on eggshells.

I hope you get to go in person someday! It's still possible.

Though I hear there are amazing waterfalls in Australia.

PROMPT November 15th

You and your two best friends are going on a month-long road trip. Where are you going? What three items must be in your luggage for this trip to abe a great experience for you.

This would be the road trip that was cancelled owing to you know what.
2020 was to be the road trip around England. Back home to see my family. But they were told it wasn’t just a trip to visit them. No, this was to go to all the places I never went to when I lived there for 28 years! This wasn’t a time to waste catching up and drinking tea, ( although I really wanted to do that too)
After a week of catching up and drinking 🍵 we were to go to London. The tea drinking had been in Derbyshire.
Tower Bridge, the Crown Jewels in fact all the places I had seen once but that was when I was a kid. I needed to see them again with the appreciation of adult eyes. Beefeaters, Guard changing at Buckingham Palace, all the touristy things, I was going to lap it up.
Then from there Stone Henge. Yes I know it’s not as big as I thought, but I don’t care.
Then the Lake District, Wordsworth Country. That’s a place I hadn’t been to. How crazy is that?
I’d like to think I’d take a sketch pad and pencil to sit and draw and absorb these things and places. But, I’d probably wouldn’t. Money. That’s what I’d need to make these things special. Then I could stay at beautiful old Inns and hotels. I could experience everything, do tours with knowledgeable people, not have to pick and choose what I could afford.
I’ve been to Shakespeare country before, seen his cottage etc but it was rushed. This time I was going to really take my time. Go to theatre shows, go to the Globe Theatre, absorb it all.
Alas it wasn’t to be and now I’m not up to the long haul flight when and if it’s safe to fly.
