The City Escape (and Scape)
Hello Silvery souls, it's been a while :) I hope everyone's doing great. Days are dragging fast!
The husband and I had been meaning to take a drive to the city and that has been long overdue as our last city visit was pre-pandemic. Although we had been to the neighboring places, we've never gone within the city walls in the last two years (well except for the husband who went a couple of times for some errands).
It's funny how easy it is for us to become so engrossed with other things that at times we forget to have a wee break from all the "busyness" in the mundane things we intentionally put ourselves into. Looking at old photos of places we've been to made me realize we've been missing a lot of adventure especially this year.
Speaking of photos, I found some which reminded me of a place near the city where we once dreamt to have our house built. It was meant to be developed into a subdivision and after looking into the plans for it and considering that a government agency was ready to help fund the project's development, we (including my siblings) decided to make downpayments and processed stuff.
Unfortunately, things turned ugly due to politics between the project developers and the contractors until the project's organization fell apart. It dragged on for a few years until we lost hope that the project will go on, let alone our monies going to be returned. So we just moved on...
Both the above landscapes were supposed to be our views had the project went through. But such is life, certain disappointments happen. For us, it's been a blessing in disguise because it made us consider looking at other options which thankfully got us where we now live, where we get not only many a view, but a lot more peaceful and a larger slice of extraordinary nature too.
And I got lost in that nostalgia, lol! Please forgive me, I just got carried away :) Hopefully soon, we'll get back to our little adventures.
Time away from all the busyness is always needed. I'd like to drive through my City too but I may have to use a ladder to get such a view 😅
Nostalgia 💕
It's absolutely needed :) And oh, go to a mountain, lol! Our region is mountainous so yeah, we don't need a ladder, lol!
Thank you !LADY
I don't think we have mountains here... 😂
Thank you ❤️
Oh, sorry to hear. That means you need to travel far to sight one. 😂
About three hours 😂. Someday
Ah, that's not too far hehe. Cheers to that 'someday'😁

Lovely views. Sometimes it's nice to get nostalgic.
Thank you, and that is true. Feeling nostalgic brings great feelings hehe. Cheers to you this weekend and to the new week too.
Sometimes we think we've had a setback and it turns out that it leads to something better, as in the case of you and that housing project, it didn't happen and now you live in your little kingdom which from what you say seems to be a lovely place to live, amiga
And to get carried away by nostalgia from time to time is ok, sis. And I do hope that soon you and the farm boy will have some new adventures:)
Happy evening to you, sis 🤗
Hello sis, good morning to you :) You're right about setbacks leading us to something better and yes, the nostalgia took me elsewhere haha. Really missed our usual drives so hopefully we'll be able to get to one soon. Salamuch and I wish you a lovely Sunday ;)
Gracias, sis! And cheers to a soon driving adventure for you and the Farm Boy! 🤗😊
Merci !LADY :)

Thank you sis :) Gandang gabi sayo
Funny how changes or just little things can change our course…
It does sounds like the good thing had happen. And being surrounded now with peaceful nature is sometimes better.
Take care 👋🏻☀️ Enjoy today.
Yes, that's true. Sometimes it can be hard to accept but it's actually the best :) Thank you Jackie, enjoy yours too :) We are welcoming Monday in less than 2 hours. The new week seems to be coming too fast hehe
You are so welcome @ifarmgirl ☺️ I will do my best.
It just goes so fast the last days… I definitely miss time as I just can’t get through my chores, work and notifications here hahaha 🤣
Enjoy the switch to Monday 👋🏻☀️😁 and good night for later!
Haha, I can relate with the things that happen after a week-long holiday :) Enjoy catching up and yes, bedtime for us here. Thank you and lovely day to you❤
Yep… we will get there… eventually hehehe 🤭
You are welcome 🤗🤗 always!
Cheers.
Things happen for a reason CJ, and think whilst you might have lost some monies, you are living in a much better place!
That's true Tito Ed, some things don't go as we plan or expect them to be but another better opportunity comes in. Thank you and good evening to you :)

You have already used the number of tips you had for the day. Please try again tomorrow or buy more LOH tokens to send more tips.
Yep the classic every cloud has a silver lining CJ:)
Oo Tito Ed :) Life's like that eh :)
Absolutely life is like that CJ and that is what makes it all fun, if everything feel into place for me that would be too boring!
Hehe yes, there won't be any surprises and things would be monotonous.

Life often deals us a blow but when other opportunities crop up and we look back, it actually was meant to be and we end up in a better place!
Glad it turned out well for you @ifarmgirl 🤗
That is very true. Sometimes we resist change or when things don't pan out as we expected only to realize they are for the better :) Thank you :)
