Do You Love Where You Live?

I do!!

I have lived in this shore town my entire life... 

except for my time away at nursing school, I have always been right here.

Sometimes I dream about moving away, 

but I can't right now and given the opportunity, I'm not sure I would. 

The town has changed a lot since I was a kid, not all changes have been for the better.

I miss the open space, driving an hour to go food shopping and so on...now the town is so overcrowded.

But I started school here, graduated from the town's only high school, 

got married here and raised my family here.

This tree is in Point Pleasant

one town over from us.

When I talk about where I live...

I include "all" of the surrounding towns that make up the Jersey Shore.

This tree is next to a favorite lunch spot we frequent often.

The Beanery in Point Pleasant has the best sandwiches anywhere.

Each holiday, season or special occasion they decorate the tree and it is always so lovely.

Right now, it looks like this...

I often wonder if all towns or areas have the same spirit.

 We attended many car shows this summer and there will be many more during the fall.

The shore area is big on car shows.

We just happened upon this one while we were driving home from the inlet.

It was small, in a Stewart's Root Beer Parking Lot.

We had just eaten at our favorite seafood shack, we were not hungry, 

but decided to stop and check out the cars.

A Chevelle....this was the hubs first car.

His was a beautiful royal blue with a large white racing stripe on it.

We both loved that car.

Chevelle SS

This car was beautiful, both outside and inside.

These 2 were beauties also, I like the really old cars best...

and the Chevelle's also, because it was the hubs first car.

There is always a Craft Show, Festival or

Farmers Market somewhere.

Do you see this type of support and activity where you live?

Do you love where you live?
