This is Fruitycake The Raccoon. Just a reminder that I’m not a real raccoon. But just like a real raccoon, I don’t like walking in the rain.

Every day is full of adventures here. Even though we don’t have a car, our feet take us a lot of places. And yesterday, our feet took us to what they call a pub.


We went inside the pub. And I got a feeling right away that a lot of things go on in there that are very important.

Important? Yes. There were televisions in there that persons like to watch stuff.
There were chairs and tables to sit and talk and eat.

Then there were more tables and chairs to sit outside and do all of that too while having a view.
Important? Yes. I think so. Some may think different.
Maybe they think another type of place is more important.
But in life, there’s nothing more important than conversation, food and friends.

I’m finding this out wherever we go. Even at the pub.

What happens now? What happens when you realize that you need the basics in life? But that the basics in life are some of the hardest things to get?


You make time for the simple things like pubs. Good conversation. Good food.

We all have responsibilities. But one of biggest responsibilities we have is to enjoy life.
So find where your heart feels welcome today. Make it a goal. What happens when you make time for the good in life? You’ll find it more often.

I wish you and Brickle could stay in England longer. It seems you are both doing well there. The countryside is so serene. I imagine it’s good for GP and BP, too.
