What was cool about this short hike (other than seeing the Holiday House in person) was that I struck up a conversation with a stranger who ended up being a retired healthcare worker. We spoke about the current Horrors, and she did me a huge favor by driving me back to the train station.
I am so introverted that I would never have done something like this even a year ago. But it turns out sharing my story, and sharing the actions I'm taking to push back -- that's common ground that takes us quickly from strangers to people in solidarity
I love that you had that connection. It’s validating. And the pictures are gorgeous.
I met a person at my Eras show that did wound vac training. Just so random-sharing a table and drinking and eating and casual conversation but once it’s “what do you do?” it can get weird. But HCW have a connection. I immediately liked her. That’s a hard job.
The person in front of me in the merch line was a PA!
😂😂😂 such an elegant “no trespassing” sign. And if I could put up double fences around my home without my HOA going crazy, I would. Looks like great weather ☀️
Lmaooo it said 💅no trespassing ✨
“I’ll sue you if you step on my lawn”
Exactly!
Double fences because those giant rocks aren’t enough of a deterrent. (They were for me - people have gotten on them to take better photos but I have no athletic abilities to clamber onto them from a sandy beach.)
Why did she buy a property where the driveway ends next to a merry go round and public restrooms Where the edge of the property forms the entrance to a public beach Why did she do that 😹
Oooh I didn’t know all of that. I remember controversy about the retaining wall/beach. But phones are so much better now and then influencers and stuff? It might have seemed fine then. But also drones happened. I love a big water view. I wouldn’t leave it.
It was just surprising to actually be in Watch Hill and realize how the property is very much surrounded by extremely public spaces
I think seeing it in person is different. And I’m sure it’s closer than I think. I really liked seeing the pics.
Anyway I hope the shop owners get something out of their proximity
That’s a gorgeous view. And such a cute crewneck.
