Tarrytown

Love it! Go there as often as I can. Maybe I’m just running into all the friendly tourists … but … then again I told one realtor about my experiences and she just said I knew how to bring out the best in New Yorkers.

And why not? They’re a stubborn lot. They know what they think and why they think it. Not a bunch of bleating lamb wannabes.

And that explains why I love NY and barely tolerate Oregon.

I’ve actually started a settlement process in Putnam County … considering moving out of Limbo. If I can just stop waiting for the next hard turn in the road, I think I could adjust. ... for example … even now my husband is speaking to an old customer who is now in the West Indies … somewhere near Venezuela!! ... and my heart is in a panic! ... He’s saying no, no No Way.

But then again … I’m even further north and soon the snow will start … and then what?

My husband is working there now. I miss him very very much. I am stuck in Oregon until July 23.

I am a Dallas, Texas Native. I am dredding culture shock and the re-adjusting. I am looking forward to the countryside and the history. I am dredding snow. I am anticipating fall.

I’ve been here in Tarrytown for a couple years after previously living in Stamford, CT and growing up outside Ann Arbor, MI (Manchester). Lots of cool moderately old stuff around and the Hudson River Valley is lots of fun, as is NYC just a 30 minute drive to the south.
