Hi, Terry! Thanks for the Welcome. I lived in League City for 9 months. Wow, does it ever get steamy down there! Just thinking of it makes me look forward to the coming snow!
 
Know League City well as my doctors are there and a close friend died while living there. We worked together for 15 years and I got to visit with her at her home in League City before she died.

Yes, the whole area is all smashed together, isn't it! I am sorry you lost an old friend from there. Glad you were able to get that last visit in though! I need to go offline now, but hope to continue our conversation when I have time to spend on the computer again! Take care.

Well, Hi,Bonnie! There are many Texans on this site. It makes me wonder if it originated there.
I was thinking of the Museum of Fine Arts and the Menil Collection the other day. I was hoping to visit again one day. Oh! I can ask you this: What is the name of that great music store near ...is it Oakwood? or some name like that there? There is new music on one side of the street and used across the street from it...?
 
I am replying twice or something and yet to figure out what I am doing to produce that result. have to go now, but hope I can figure out how to stop it upon my return! Sorry for the redundancy, everyone! Have a good Thursday evening/night and thanks you for the warm welcomes!
 
Hi @Tally Allyn , nice to have you with us!

Hi, Everyone. I have lived by myself for 30 years and love it. I am a solitary and an old political hippie chick. I have lived a life of peace in nature and in mountains, 20 years in now. I read, take online courses, raised-bed and pot garden, do what chores I can when I can, and have all kinds of projects in addition to continuous bird/wildlife watching. In the past, I have volunteered for literacy, a museum's orinthology lab, a suicide prevention hotline, a medical care clinic, and Meals on Wheels. I can no longer cross-country hike and miss it. I do use a treadmill and a stationary elliptical bike with stretches and additional exercises every day (don't use it=lose it). What brings me out of my seclusion to an online venue is the missing socialization which I used to keep grounded before Covid-19. I miss travel - new people, experiences, and ideas and old friends who live far away. I manage some chronic health conditions, living despite them. I grew up in politics and tend to disappear if anything near the subject comes up now. The same for religions. I have learned lessons from a multitude of mistakes, but most of all, for me, I have learned that walking a path of curiosity, respect, and gratefulness is best. And as long I am alive, I will allow myself the choice to be open to personal growth and emotional honesty. I hope to find some fellow travelers here!

So I slept on it and decided to "crawl back under my rock." I need to find a local outlet where I can be of some use. There are only so many hours in a day and I have decided to cut my electronics time along with my tv-watching reduction. In my brief time here, I have met some great people. It's good to know you all are "out here!" Take care and stay well! Ciao!
