Ahh…first posts…don’t you just love it when there’s so much space and you’re dying to fill it?
Speaking of space, let me tell you there’s nothing like home whether it’s a castle in Belgium or a tent in the middle of the Smoky Mountains.
To some people, home means a place to lay their hat and to others it means a sanctuary. It’s that middle ground where I am right now.
The middle ground is like a weird little place…you don’t know if you’re going or coming sometimes and you really feel that no matter where you call home, it’s just not IT.
I call this blog “Where’s the Damn Picket Fence?” because it’s going to be a collection of those thoughts behind the proverbial meaning of the phrase. Picket Fence. Picket Fence.
I’m not even sure what the phrase means except to say that sometimes you search and search for it and something always gets in the way of you finding it.
Perhaps the picket fence theory went out with Leave it to Beaver and there just is no such thing anymore, or is it?
That’s what we’ll be doing here…searching for that white picket fence. I know it’s out there, hiding behind the bushes of dysfunction and covered with the branches of a cold, cruel world.
But that’s not what this blog is going to be about. This is going to be about a somewhat ordinary fifty-something woman on a quest to find that damn picket fence if it’s the last thing she does. You will step into my life while you are here and travel along with me as I embark on the last years of my life because I am determined I am going to find that picket fence before I croak and wouldn’t it be nice if it helped you find your picket fence, too?
Maybe you already have your picket fence. If you do, tell me the secret to finding it. No, wait. Your picket fence can’t be my picket fence because everyone has their own picket fence with their name on it.
So, I guess I’m in this alone. Follow me then on this humourous and not so humourous journey and, hopefully, I won’t bore you to tears with all my drivel. But, I kinda think you’re going to enjoy the ride. ;o)
