Earth day 2011

Well I went over to Earth Day 2011, to me it left alot to be desiered but I think that had to do with the waether the day before! There were hardly any vendors like the year before, the train was not even running oh well none the less I still had good time! I liked the one band that they had, but how ever I did want to cut some dread locks off people idk why but they just bothered me for some reason this year. I did how love looking round in some of the shops that we have here in town. I will be sharing some of those with you in another post. Here are some photos of today I will also be doing blog review of place that I ate at in another blog as well. Hope you enjoy the photos. I was hoping to find some east meets west stuff but sadly I found nothing like that but I did find bakery that everyone keeps talking about but I still have not tried what I bough tomorrow followed by another blog. I would write more on earth day but their is nothing really to write about so here are some photos and video if I can post it. I should also add they had to cancel Saturdays events due to the rain and winds so maybe some of the vendors left idk

How I will starting blogging about my town

I was orginaly going to start this blog from tourist view of my town but someone pointed out to me that I should write about it from residents point of view as to what the state and my town have to offer people. So that is what I'm going to do. I'm going to start off blogging about my town from the history of it how it got it's name to what has made this place famous for everyone to come here, I'm even going to talk about local places that I love to visit and even go to eat as well, also I will throw in fact that you might not even know. I'm hoping to get the okay from some local store owners to take photos of there shops, and ask them few questions as to what makes there shop stand out from other shops. I will start posting tonight when I get home from work. I'm going to creat section for this blog I'm thinking of what to call it you will know all this tonight when I get home.

What view

Most people when I tell them that I live right next to the woods, they say you are lieing you don't live out in the country! Well I may live in town but I'm right next to the woods none the less in fact I can even take walk and I'm in wooded area and it's so pretty, quite,cool full of life in it's own natural way! No this photo was not taken at my house this was at friends house she lives on top of one of our main streets but the view is breath taking I had to share this with you, I will have photos form my house! I will say this is one of the perks of living in small town sometime is view like this one! It's also reminds us that we are not the only ones that live here we also have wild life who live among us and we should let them be. Right now this is how it looks during the summer/spring here. I took these photos while I was taking walk I just had to share this with everyone it's quite something that it's right here and we don't have to go far to see beauty at all, it's also so peacful as well it in strange sense renews you some how I'm not quite show how but it dose.

How my town is similar to India

I was Reading Sharell's blog http://www.whiteindianhousewife.com/ check it out it's great I love her blogs!!! Well as I was saying I love her blogs because I can relate to some of them in so many ways because of growing up moving all the time due to have father that was in the US Army so I have friends from all different back grounds cultures customs and countries which I totally love.
No I have never been nor lived in India yet!!! Just like Sharell I have always had calling to this country I don't know why but I have my mom would say that maybe in past life I was either Indian woman or have lived there. Maybe she is right in many ways one never fully knows what their past life was all about unless you are willing to explore it. No I'm not married to Indian man yet I'm still looking for MR.RIGHT well as close to that as one can get...........

I have found one of the many things that we have in common is that where I live the are not quick to move to do things or even get things done that even goes for where I work as well some days!!!!!! I do live in small town USA well to be more exact I live in tourist town which get tourist 365 day year no matter what!!!! This is not bad thing to me as I get to meet some interesting people along the way only because I get out of the house and play tourist myself just cause I can and want to I DON'T even have to use gas in my van to do this I just put my shoes on and walk to the other side of the town! hahahaha I know I need to get back on track so here goes well for one thing if we [I live with my dad and Nana yes I live at home yet which I do so cause i want to rent is cheaper and will till I get married] need handy man to come do something at the house for us which we one we use all the time he tells us what day he's coming well sometimes it's the next day or even week later sometimes he's even late and when he's don't he don't even clean up his mess!! Also he I don't want to use this word so lets engineers something or ghetto fixes something so that it works, I'm not sure what the right word would be for this so if I upset someone I'm sorry. I remember Sharell waiting for handy man or people to work or install something in her and the husband flat, we share that in common.
Also out plumier is not so fast to come some times it takes him hours,days, weeks to show up at out house, says that he's busy well maybe if he would write his apt down or send one of his helpers he might get things done I can remember one night we went without water UGH most of the time he tell us what time he's coming and dose not ever show up at that time I hate waiting all day and he never shows up nor answer his Mobile when we call.

Another thing here is sometimes nothing is ever organized or done timely manner sometimes one person dose not know what the other person is doing, that irks me.. Sharell talks about her neighbors Begin nosey rude even well I live in small tourist town where people gossip, are noise, rude, nuts etc! Here is the run down of the street that I live on: If you stand on our front porch you can see one the funeral homes next to it is nice house another house with apt building attached to it this BTW is to my left I will post photos on this blog soon of it like tomorrow, we live in half double home so next to us is the other half to my right is out neighbors one who an old noise couple who we call the neighbor hood watch cause they don't miss nothing next to them are drug dealers or whatever they are lets just say I can go on which is another blog. right across the street is BOB'S convent store/deli/restaurant which is own by great Indian family who my family love and respects I learn lots from them as well. We have people who will just drop by and are like hello call first or will call and ask how come they have not seen us out of the house in while or why they have not seen one of us or why are vehicle was not moved in day or two...
Now most people would not put up with this as long as I have which is 7yrs the only reason that I don't move back to Texas is because my Nana is going 85 she lost my mom 5years ago my dad and I feel she should not have to live alone at her age so we live with her help her out, don't get me wrong my Nana is not the typical old lady she drives, cooks,cleans, dose wash, goes on trip, even have part time job yet, she even keeps up with me you would not think she is going to be 85 next year! GOD bless her I hope she lives in good health and to be over 100 years old, I do help her out I do, do cooking cleaning washing yard work whatever she wants done but I also let her do what she wants to because if I stop her it's not good it will slow her down or something

Their are somedays that I think I have landed in some starange place and want to leave other times I just love it here, I must say that I'm coping with this place pretty good at times even where Iwork other times I want to quit leave move ect.....
Well that is enough for not I'm getting sleepy and rambeling on and on whcih is not good so I will write part two to this later on.
