Portland Maine?

We have often thought of moving to the Portland area. Not just because we love it, but for many reasons.

1. I do a lot of judging of horse shows up that way for people I really like working with. Would shorten my drive from two hours.
2. Our children, my brother, and Connecticut friends, can take the train instead of having to drive, and my family loves trains. Perhaps we would see them more?
3. We go up there a lot on vacation. So why not live there?
4. I am a fatalist and believe things happen for a reason. With all that has happened in the past few weeks, it seems the fates have a plan, and I must listen.

Why we haven’t done anything about it before?

1. We live in an amazing town, with great neighbors, and loved our quiet corner of the world, out in the woods, but that is fast disappearing, time to move further out.
2. I had a job, remember, that is what started this whole blog. Now, there isn’t a job to tie me down.
3. We had three horses and moving them would be a pain. Unfortunately, we lost our old boy to a heart attack a few months ago. Now we have two, and a two horse trailer.
4. My husband is semi retired and he didn’t think the time was right. He seems to have changed his mind.
5. We have to get the house ready to sell. I hate selling houses.
6. Lazy? Scared? No job? Two of those I can overcome. The other, well will get on that.

So, here we go, another chapter. Might not transpire for a year, especially given the current circumstances. But you know what…Onward and Upward, and in this case it means UP north.
