Reply #168: Before my life changed so drastically, my husband and I visited

[Paper Roses]

Europe 3 times and each time we managed to spend some time in Belgium. Such a beautiful small country with the most gracious people. In my fantasy world, I'd buy a tiny little house near Brugge. Public transport is everywhere so would not need a car. I'd find a part time job to keep me active and enjoy my free time mingling with the people and studying the incredible history of Europe.

My late husband told me once that if we won the lottery, we'd buy a place there. Like all fantasy conversations, it was a really never expected to happen, just a fun talk.

As I see the way my life and this country has changed, it would be a welcomed reality.
