Let's try this again

This system worked well for us a while ago, until I kind of lost my ability to compute!  About a year ago I had trouble with my hearing and working on the computer and lots of other things got crazy. I have hadA number of difficulties but I think I'm getting over it!  I am not sure where we left off but in November I had totally lost my hearing. I woke up and it was gone. that was November 1 I think what a year ago.   That Was when I kind of gave up on Blogging

.  Now almost a year later a lot has happened.

I Feel like my life is going in reverse.  I am revisiting many thoughts places and feelings that I had a while ago.  Here is one of the many stories that are letting me now what a wonderful rich life I have had, Yesterday was my husband's 80th birthday and with Covid and everything else this is was not a time to have a big party and somehow he didn't want to have a parade. His choice of celebrating his birthday was a Relais Chateau in Bedford New York.  He has taaught me to trust that brand,and he found one neither of Had been to before.  So he Made the reservation for tonight at the vet Bedford post inn.  We were off for a midweek weekend which couldn't have been more better had we understood what we were doing.  

As we kept getting closer to our destination I kept recognizing areas that are used hang around as a kid- Young adult. There were many restaurants in this area and still are.  It is a beautiful country drive with great colors, perfect time and I was getting many vibes of familiarity and thinking a lot about my family of origin.  The Bedford post seemed very familiar although it felt backwards. I have had this sensation often recently left is right right is left of it anyway a little bit of confusion but very familiar. Many family stories kept coming back to my mind and it was fun to share them with John. Déjà vu were rampant in my brain.  It reminded me of the restaurants my dad would take me to each time I had a new beau/We had dinner in the barn which was not a barn for me years ago.  At the end of Dinner  our waiter in advertently told us that this was the old Ninos.

I began trying to put the buildings and floorplans together in my history memory book Yes made it especially fun for me and I love sharing it with John.  We're walking around this place and I am getting vibes for familiarity when all of a sudden one of the staff mentioned that" this used to be Ninos."  A Favorite restaurant of many of us in high school with  parents and after for a very special dates.  Memories of friends birthdays and over 10 years the celebration came wafting came back. I shared many stories with John and he listened patiently.

While I had moved to Dallas this restaurant has kind of gone under- Literally Roofs had crashed down and walls had fallen but the stone structures that were built from the 1600s on we're still here. The essence of the old property and charm were still buried there.  I could feel the term in my bones just being there 3 to 400 years later.  It was like meeting a friend that I had lost and missed and didn't know how much. I must say the grounds were immaculate. I am taking care of the house has been rebuilt from falling down ceilings and it has been saved by Richard Gere and brought back to life. I felt a bit Of rebirth during the experience. And a lot of gratitude for the rich life I have had how fortunate I am to relive it in bits now.
