Where is your favorite place to spend time? Are you there now?

Before I retired, I had this one location that I loved to drive my police car and just watch the cars go by. I use to write or finish my police reports at this location. It was in a big parking lot, which overlooked a six-lane parkway. I made many decisions, sitting at this location. Most of the time, the parking lot was empty, so I practically had it to myself.

This was my “think time”. Time to catch up on my reports and traffic citations I had written that day. Of course, this was between police calls and everything was quite, except that computer voice on my laptop that kept saying “you have mail waiting”. I always had mail waiting on my police computer.

I would sometimes check out my 30 minutes for lunch and just sit watching the cars go by.

This was not a glorious place, such as a lake or the ocean, but it was my think tank.

Being retired, I can think back to this location and associate it with calls I received and people I arrested.

The past is the past, but the memories never fade away.

My favorite place to be is on stage singing. I feel so at home and it excites me to perform for others. I wish I was on stage right now. :)

The sea and no.

I love being in Boca Raton, FL. I’m not there now. I do regularly visit, and hope to live there, or near there, again.

Right now I am in my family room and I like it a lot here too. I like being where my husband is.

I have very fond memories of going to the Catskills with my grandparents when I was young. I haven’t been back in 30 years.

My home, and yes.

My house, and yes. It’s cozy.

One of the legacies of life as a military brat is not having an old homestead. I don’t really picture anyplace as home.

I guess I think of Seattle as my home, but it has been two years since I have been there.

If I am with my boyfriend I like to spend time near water or near mountains, given the choice I would be in Scotland. If I am on my own I like to chill out in my flat with the knowledge that I don’t have to do anything or go anywhere. I’m not in either of those places right now.

My favorite place in the world is the woods. There’s no explaining how much I love it or even why.

We’ve vacationed in a few places over the years that we’d love to go back to. Dominica. Chincoteague. Squam Lake.

I love anyplace by the ocean. It soothes me to hear and see the waves crashing to shore. Right now I am home and that is nice. When I travel, much as I love it, it feels so good to step inside my front door and be home again!
