So Long, New York 🗽

 

That’s right, folks, we are on our way to our dream home in  the keystone State, Pennsylvania. We will be living near the city of steel and bridges, Pittsburgh. Why did we choose Western PA, one might ask. It is rated one of the best locations for retired persons. House prices are reasonable and the cost of living and taxes are less. Let’s face it, we love our home State but it is a vampire when it comes to taxes and averages the highest COL in the United States.  Oh, the other reason is we    are tired of urban living and the noise pollution. Green spaces are great and we look forward to increasing some pastoral hobbies like birding,  strolling around our neighborhood, container gardening and joining a social club for fun.

Many of you know I am a guide dog user and animal lover. Partnering with a guide dog is a beautiful and life-affirming responsibility.   Staying in touch with other  guide dog handlers is part of the lifestyle. Check out this great  blog post <https://guidedogtales.org/posts/index.htm>  by friend and colleague, Pat Leahy <https://guidedogtales.org/posts/index.htm>  and guide dog Hogan.

 

And now a lyrical poem by Dreya the book dragon. She has returned from visiting her dragonkind in the mists and mountains. 

 

Pages In Flight

Or song of the Book Dragon

 

By Dreya transcribed by Annie Chiappetta

 

Glide and soar 

taste clouds and roar

Words on high

Sweep the skies

 

a dragon’s flight

noon or night

studies the wind

with a wink and a grin

Imagining

 

Pages found

Litter the ground

notes dance

a rainbow’s chance

 

a dragon’s flight

noon or night

rides the wind

Imagining



Figure 1Dreya the book dragon is smiling amid flying books and musical notes
