This Move Was Destiny I Tell Ya!

 No matter what, I may belong where the Powers that Be dropped me.

When I was living in the remoteness of the Poconos in PA I'd spend a lot of my time in my beloved little white Chevette to get to any place to shop, go to the doctor, etc.  I had a tape deck in that car(my wedding present from the Hubs).  Driving through those forests along mostly deserted back roads I'd crank up tapes of Dwight Yoakam and Mary Chapin Carpenter, etc.....the big guns of country music in the mid 1980's. I even was going through a Zydeco phase then.

This was one of my favorites on my MCC tape.............listen to the lyrics and you'll see why I feel like I'm home(mostly)here.  If I can't afford to live in the Virginia of my childhood, this is pretty darn close to being in the parts of rural Virginia where we spent time with my mother's people. Except it's much hotter. 8-)

    Jre Loved this! I love Virginia. I can’t type it all out but I had an infamous trip there in April! The Va part was great. I took the Amtrak to Charlottesville (from Mn via New Orleans… don’t ask although a blizzard, missed connection in Chicago, a beautiful suite paid for by Amtrak then in Chinatown in Chicago, (a bank robbery in Chicago) a then train track derailment between NOL to Va which had Amtrak put us all on a not nice bus for 13 hours to Birmingham to actually get on on the train north was a little bit of it….. But I rented a car in Charlottesville for a week when I finally got there and drove all over, Williamsburg, Edenton NC to Boone…. What a crazy trip but I love that area and still Amtrak (maybe ha!)

    Hotter, wetter, with more snakes and alligators. Plus really big and creepy bugs!

    I do love that music. If I could still dance like that, I would be a happy woman.
