It's All Good



I thought I'd show you a part of my commute just so you know I'm still kicking.
I have always wondered how you working folks find the time to blog and still get other things done after a full week. I'm relearning, I swear. Thanks for understanding why I've been scarce.

This is the Mt. Hope bridge which I have to cross on my way to and from the market.
It's one of my favorite parts of the commute because the views from either side at the top are glorious!


This is Memorial Drive in Newport, the last road I'm on before I turn onto Bellevue where the market is. At the end of the day I come down that hill and Easton's Beach presents itself to me.  There are always swimmers and surfers and sunbathers galore.
I guess it becomes a ghost town after this weekend. That means I'll be able to find parking so I can do some exploring on my own!  This is one beautiful city.


And here is the beach in the golden afternoon sun. I didn't take this photo nor the one above because, as I've said there's been nowhere to park! So thank you to whoever took these shots. 

When Robin visits we'll paint the town! Until then I'm enjoying my job so far and the folks I work with are fantastic and welcoming.
It's all good!
I'll be popping in as I can. I miss you all!

Love,
Lo

  2. You do have a nice commute. I am so glad all is working out for you. I do miss your posts. I can believe you have to work your way into doing anything but the necessaries right now. I don't get much done and I only work 2 days per week.

  6. It is hard to work and get all the other stuff done! I keep thinking that when I retire I will have so much time to do all the things I want to get done. Love your commute and happy that you have a job, although they do cut into your real life.

  10. Oh what glorious views you have on your way to work!
    Working 6 days and finding time to blog and other things is difficult .
    You just have less time to divide....:(
    But I always get more done when I am working than when I am off for a long period.
    But 6 days is a lot dear! I am happy you have nice colleagues and that you are appreciated.
    Once you get into the routine of a working girl. Things will be easier........
    But eh I think it is an achievement! Finding work these days is a miracle and you did it!!!
    hugs!

  11. What a lovely drive and the shots of the city and water...WOW! Inspirational to say the least.
    Congrats on the job, and letting us *see* where you go~~~here is hoping you have time to now explore the area and find more beautiful vistas.
    Because that is what life should be~~a beautiful vista, always, no matter what you do! :-)

    XXOO~~
