That’s “my” road and those are “my” turkeys but it’s not my jeep

A facebook friend posted a video of driving down “my” road at the moomincabin the other day taking pics of turkeys. I was like, THAT’S *MY* ROAD! As you might be able to see from the screenshot, he even identified the area.

I have been facebook friends with this person (we’ll just call him Mushy) for years. I don’t think I have ever met him in person but he went to my high school five years ahead of me. I recognized his name when he friend-requested me and in accordance with my loose rules about accepting facebook friend requests I accepted his. I figured he knew some of my older cousins and my uncle probably delivered him.

And yes, my uncle did deliver him (and about a billion other babies) and not only that, after a bit of facebook interaction last night, he ‘fessed up to walking my cousin Susie home “up Prospect Street” from junior high or high school or whatever to home. Did he have a crush on her? I will never really know. Susie was very popular (unlike me) but also very particular about who she hung around with and that’s about all I know about that. I was just a little kid in those days although I had big crushes on boys and I mean local boys, not The Beatles. Like Paul McCartney would ever wanna hook up with me? Not a chance so why bother.

I am not at all freaked out about “Mushy” driving down our moominbeach road. He and I do not agree about politics at all so I don’t interact with his political posts. But then I don’t agree with my husband about politics either. What I have encountered about Mushy is that even though he doesn’t know me personally, he remembers my family with much love and on the off-chance I have responded to stuff he has posted and have been trolled, he ALWAYS shuts the trolls down. Fast. No. This woman’s family is wonderful. And we pretty much are.

So if he wants to drive down the moominbeach road, I am fine with it. Just don’t hit the turkeys, which he is not doing.

    Interesting! I have friendships with high school people who weren’t friends then but are now, yet we differ greatly about politics and religion. However, our shared history is powerful enough to overcome that, mostly!
