Where is your slice of heaven?

Things have changed greatly there. And the fires changed things too.

I was in Napa last year at this time. I did some Christmas shopping. It isn't a tiny town now, I agree. I don't think the fires caught in the town though. They did in Santa Rosa, though, which while not picturesque, was a favorite place to go. The Russian River brewery, especially. I haven't even looked it up. I am grateful that Forestville and Guerneville were spared. And Sebastepol.

Jeff told our family that one of his properties took an major beating by the fires...he has two vineyards; one of them is up in the hills near the Santa Rosa area? Yes, it's been a long time since I've been down there... but during the 60s, early 70s his dad, my dad's youngest brother, we'd go visit them when it was just a sleepy community in the mountains. I hope your favorite places were spared too, Martina! It's beautiful down there!

I've travelled just about anywhere on this planet: Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, New Zealand, parts of Africa, Middle East, but honestly , nothing i've seen and enjoyed makes me want to move from Canada.

Right at this very moment, my slice of heaven is a shower of autumn leaves.

That's so sweet! I imagine that living in the desert of southern California didn't give you much of a chance to see fall foliage. I'm so happy that you're on the road, traveling with your spouse Kasey!

I love the countryside in these isles I was born in, particularly areas of rolling hills where you're never sure what might be around that corner or over that next ridge. I love the changing of the seasons, and am sad that snow is now so rare here, as I loved the contrast between the countryside draped with snow and how it looked in other seasons, sun-pillars peeking between cumulous on a stormy summer day, or a light spring breeze swishing through new foliage as lambs gambol in the fields.

I know that many, if not most other parts of the world have their own beauty and are doubtless loved by their inhabitatnts, too, but I have seen little of the rest of the world. I find the land of my birth beautiful enough that I would be content even if I never left its shores ever again. Truly, I feel deity smiled upon this land, even if many of its inhabitants don't seem to appreciate it (and even if I am often deeply frustrated by the activities of some of my fellow citizens). May you all find where you live so beautiful.

My slice of heaven is. Being at work, being assigned a project that is challenging. Tinkering around, and trouble shooting it. Until I get it running again. It’s a gratifying feeling to know that if it’s broken. I can fix it.

On a really warm summer day.....floating on my back in the pool, watching clouds float through the sky, and basking in the sunshine.....that's my slice of heaven
