I've been nominated by @snook to take part in the #happyplace initiative/tag/whatever you wanna call it first started by @robertandrew a couple of weeks ago. Here is his original post and here is @snook's.

I kinda have two happy places.

The first one is the house in Fairfax, Virginia where I may have spent more time at the pool shown above than anywhere else. My second husband bought this house in the late 70s (when I was in grade-school LOL) with his first wife and the pool house was built in 2007. He had a stroke in 2002 - which is a long story in and of itself - but we remained friends even after we separated in 2010. The mosquitos in Virginia seem to think my blood is some kind of delicacy, and I got eaten alive clearing the brush and weeds and vines that had grown up over the space, but the picture above was taken after I had it mostly cleared. There was probably 100 pounds of weed smoked here in the 17 years between the time we met and when he died in 2016.

A few more of the house:

(I'm probably gonna take crap from @bluefinstudios for my shitty phone pics)

The back porch and garden. We definitely weren't curing cannabis in the shed.

The front and side. Faith, who I nicknamed "Big Fatty" seems to be in a lotta these pictures.

The basement rec room and bar. Whoever put the pool table there is fired.

The master bathroom.

The master bedroom.

The gym and laundry.

Big Fatty doing what she did best.

I'm gonna create another post for my current #happyplace because apparently I messed up the HTML code somewhere in this one and I can't figure out where ...

The idea behind this tag:

The place where you love to do a Combo of things including but not limited to, relaxing, pondering, eating and drinking, meditating, and yes even working on Steemit. This is a new Tag and Initiative that I am creating. I hope to see many others participate in the fun of it. 😄 ~ @robertandrew
