Yesterday as I walked by the two guys standing on the sidewalk as I went into the dollar store. I didn't realy pay attention to who they were, I just said "nice day out today!" Yes they said, then came the yesterday I was at harbor quay one of them said, cold there I said, he agreed.
After I'd finish getting what I wanted at the store, I walked past again, but this time I recognized one of them, I met a friend I had not seen since school days. Ron and I knew each other, and many others from high school, then after a short while talking came a couple of women, one Margaret, I'd met her years ago, when she was married to another guy I remembered, we talked awhile, was really nice to see them both again, and yak it up like we did so many years ago.
I know why I love to return to Port Alberni, and this is one of the reasons, I know many people here, always bumping into someone else, just so nice to meet up, and give a "Hi, 👋 How are ya!"
So many good people here, as many other places, yet here I know so many people, just feels good to say Hi to them.
Another thing about being home is that I really don't have to think about how to get to where I'm going, I know the route, or routes needed to get to our destination, no real thinking involved, just put it in gear and away we go.
Comfortable, that's how I'd describe it here, comfortable and so familiar where ever we go, really everywhere on the island. I try to stay out of the bigger city, Victoria, but everywhere else, is like home 🏡
Today we are going to a familiar pub, with friends that we've known along time. We know many that go there too, kinda like walking into "Friends" pub. Be a nice time, and likely meeting a few more friends there. Yep, always nice to be "Home".
Love our life ❤️
