@ancapbarbie's Happy Place 1999 - 2015
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)
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
I'm nominating these fine folks to participate:

I love the concept of HappyPlace. Sorta did one with my last Tree Tuesday post, but I can do another, for sure. Thanks for thinking of me! :)
OH a pool!!!! That would be my happy place but I'm not sure it's big enough for my kayak! LOL
It's 50 feet long. What kind of kayak do you have??? LOL
Either you or someone who valued your post shared this post on Pimp Your Post Thursday in the Steemit Ramble discord. Looking forward to you visiting us again.
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Love that you did this!!!!!!!
Very Cool Pool!!
Hi this is bot belongs to @sapphic
You are obviously on her author upvote whitelist, (which means you are pretty special), or your post passed the threshold of her algorithm.
Either way she will be along shortly to read your post, ponder it and leave a lovely comment.
You have such a beautifully formatted post! so I don't think that you screwed it up.
Thank you for sharing your happy place :) It is the home that made us feel safe and happy that gives us so much joy in our memories.
Hehe thanks! It was centering text in weird places when I tried to add my current happy place, so I copied the html to a text file and will
shamelessly self-aggrandizecreate another post about it later.yes, more than one happy place I do say so indeed!
;)

Wow, that's so my kind of house.
LOLOLOL!!! Oh, I believe you. (or not.)
Contrary to my personal experience in the southwest corner of the state, there are some wonderful aspects of Virginia. That house is one of them. I know you miss it terribly.
I do, but his family sold it after he died and it was waaaaayyyy out of any price range I could afford.
