In reply to helena sorensen. Yesterday I came across a lovely photo a boat that I took a couple years back and thought the same thing, Helena. : )

Speaking of Dogwoods & Trains… here’s ‘my’ BC Rail Budd Car!
I worked the run from North Vancouver to Prince George return…
as a rail steward… catering to passengers who lived along the line…
a 1 year stint in ’87…a 2 day return trip with 3 days to sleep it off…
traveling thru 4 seasons & 4 climate zones… the thrill of a lifetime!

I have mixed feeling about trains, actually. I DO like the sound of them when they’re more in the distance, unless it’s 4:42pm and I know my boyfriend’s mother is on it, about to arrive home and ’cause him more stress (no, I won’t get into it, but…). I love the idea of trains, but mostly in days of old. There’s something romantic about them back then 🙂

I have a fear of them, too. The mother of a school mate (back in 1970) got stuck on the tracks in her car. I won’t say more than that, but that was when they finally installed gates. I don’t trust they’ll always work, so get that touch of nervousness each time I cross. And unlike all of you, most times I get annoyed when I have to wait for them ’cause I just want to get wherever I need to go.

For about 5 months, back in 1975, I commuted to Manhattan by train to attend school and that got old pretty quickly. But with all that said, I do have a favorite train: The Hogwarts Express 😀 😉

In reply to Dave Malone (@dzmalone). So, Dave, practical as well. And I'm loving your love poems from the ozarks. About half way. Sorry I didn't make your deadline. Still behind but picking up speed...
