I just spent 6 days in Marsha Blackburn's district, Williamson County. Cris crossing back and forth and all around. Mostly all I saw were huge houses with 5+ acres, farms, creeks, rivers, and small mountains. Just green, green, green.
I was so sick of it by the last day. I mean, I was helping someone, and I was glad I could, but the last day I was so glad to be driving home for good. Even that wasn’t quite what I was longing for. I live in a suburb where everyone has around 2 acres.
What I miss is a city. I want really tall buildings, lots of cars on the streets and people on the sidewalks. Lots of street sounds.
And if I can’t have the downtown life I’d at least like a crowded neighborhood. One where you can reach out a side window and almost touch your neighbor's house.
The sidewalks don’t have to be crowded with people, but I want sidewalks! The kind where the elderly stroll and the young ride their bikes.
I don’t mind taking a break for some mother nature, I just don’t want it to be green. Three days at sea? Yep. The beach is my idea of the beautiful outdoors!
What’s your idea of home?
The lyrics translated
Three Days at Sea
I know what i can do Nevertheless, there are now and then doubts about it
Then I wonder What am I doing all this for?
And I realize now that those were years without a break
And actually I know exactly what I need Actually, I know exactly what I need 'A break
Three days at sea And I know again who I am Three days at sea And I know again who I am
Without everyone else It's not easy for me to calm down I'm so annoying
I sit too much and only breathe air that tastes of the street
And I love the city and yet I urgently have to go far away again
And actually I know exactly what I need sink Three days at sea
And I know again who I am Three days at sea And I know again who I am
Without everyone else Without everyone else Without everyone else
Three days at sea Without everyone else Three days at sea Three days at sea
Without everyone else Without everyone else Three days at sea Without everyone else
Without everyone else Three days at sea Three days at sea Three days at sea

If you too would like to learn German, well there are a lot of ways to do it. I checked out some CDs from the library that I can listen to in my car while I’m driving all around town. Because I am old, I can take classes at local colleges for about $20 a course.
My favourite way of learning so far is with duolingo. This is perfect for my 9 year old friend and me. We can sing along with AnnenMayKantereit songs, but we don’t know what they mean...yet.
