I love this town and the people I met, went to school with and came to love as no others. When I was on tour later in life I penned songs about the place... like Okeechobee Kinda Woman and Okeechobee Days and Okeechobee Nights (lost now in history). I remember each precious moment of being a part of the wondrous communtiy there and it is the place I return to in my thoughts when I am in need of a smile. This is a Wonderful thing you have done here. I love it, I love you and all my classmates during that - the Most Joyous Time of my entire life! Goooooooooo Chobeeeeeee!

But, when I did retire, I found out that it takes far less money to be at home. A lot of expense goes with working. I'm a real homebody, so I hardly spend much at all. I went from spending about $300 a month for gas and tolls to about $20 per month for gas. My wardrobe is now shorts, t-shirts & flip-flops. No more dresses, heels, etc. Lunch at home is way cheaper than a working lunch. Now that I know all this, I wished I had retired sooner.

The photo of the coffee truck wasn't so bad, since I was right behind him, but it was a big no-no the day I was driving through Atlanta during heavy traffic. I got lots of pics that day and yelled at by my sister. LOL... It's not really so bad. I just hold my camera up, point in the general direction and accept whatever shot I get. Some of them get really interesting... <br /><br />Darlene ~Bloggity Blogger~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08202901408911879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393027414870274744.post-67996993604471428342013-01-30T21:38:07.335-05:002013-01-30T21:38:07.335-05:00That is hilarious Darlene-You got the best picture...That is hilarious Darlene-You got the best picture of a coffee truck but your a naughty girl for driving while taking it.

I suppose that living in the city like you do, seeing the many acres of trees was lovely for you too. I'm glad you like them.Darlene ~Bloggity Blogger~https://www.blogger.com/profile/08202901408911879517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6393027414870274744.post-36141661345306226282012-10-18T07:22:00.097-04:002012-10-18T07:22:00.097-04:00I am SO glad you were able to see the Autumn leave...I am SO glad you were able to see the Autumn leaves this year :) I look forward to theme every year.
