vagabond life

by judester

Wander~lusting vagabond
I traveled near and far,
from blooming little boomtowns
to ancient Zanzibar.

In a van that we made home
drove 'round the USA.
Dipped a toe in Mexico,
sweet memories today

Sailing through the islands
with the Captain as a kid,
Blue Mountains of Jamaica
a pirate's life I lived.

Beloved Tanzania
can still move me to tears.
My six month safari
that lasted 20 years.

One thing that was certain
no matter where I roamed.
There always was a light left on
when I found my way home.

Thanks to iphone7 for the artwork.
One of my first adventures was heading to Ft. MacMurray, a real boom town in Northern Alberta, to start a mobile catering company with my friend. My friend Carl and I did a three month trip around America and Mexico in a converted van.
Then met Captain Bob and sailed with charter through the Bahamas for a few years. Then we sold the boat and came to Vermont to build my log cabin, still standing today after 40 years.
I just cannot cross the border, twenty minutes away, argh. haha
Then I stayed landlocked and learned to plaster, renovating old houses.
Spent a few months in Jamaica a few times with my buddy, loved it there.
I had a little take away vegetarian restaurant in Montreal called the Buddha Belly Deli.
Off to Tanzania and a troubled ostrich farm that we morphed into an organic vegetable farm, shipping to Europe.
I am now living on Lake Memphremagog with Mike working on a farm.

My mom encouraged me wherever I roamed and always left the lights on for me. Bless.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
