This afternoon was a scheduled lunch date with Becky – there won’t be another until October. Next month, Becky and her family are going on a 3-week vacation down South; she promised to take a lot of pictures and regale me with the details next time we get together. I can’t wait! It sounds like it is going to be a blast 😊
I am hoping to get to the Mountain for an Anniversary trip; if I stick close to home and am extremely frugal with gas $$ … I should be able to pull it off.
But, this morning, we stayed on the moment. Our hearts were in tune.
It was kinda cool today with the river breezes, so I wore jeans and a tee: we aren’t fancy gals, and I was planning to drive into Castle Rock afterwards to get my hair trimmed. I like to keep it tidy. I think I’ll forgo the Shag cut this time, and grow it out for a while. I like long hair down my back … and my hair is thin enough without having it thinned in the shag style.
This is The Plan anyway. We’ll see how long this change of mind lasts 😉
After lunch – and my trip to Castle Rock, I got a text from Ramona on the upper end of Wahkiakum County: the sister sleuthing will be happening a little sooner than anticipated. I’m okay with that; the early break from daily routine will be very welcome.
We’ll be sharing tidbits of our lives over this past week, and putting our thinking caps on to ferret out the guilty parties in the {whodunit} mysteries we indulge in once a week. Hahahaha
I look forward to these get-togethers. The gals are a hoot, the intrigues keep things interesting, and the time spent redirects my thoughts as my hands get some much-needed rest.
It’s been a very busy few days … once I get started designing and crafting, I don’t stop until I literally run out of steam. Bob used to force me to rest now and then – now my friends, do 😉
I’ll be working extra hard this month on designs – I need to stay busy and keep my mind occupied, and free-flowing-tears at bay. August is always a hard month for me. Bob was born in August 1949. We married in August 1974. Our daughter was conceived somewhere between our Wedding Night and the first week of September 1974. August was the month Elohim decided Bob would begin his journey Home in 2018 … and I laid Bob’s cremains to rest in the Family Cemetery in August 2019. August is filled with a lifetime of memories; it is a very hard month for me.
So, I am thankful for my artsy-fartsy gift Elohim favored me with. And I am thankful for my equally loud and rambunctious/wittily sarcastic/flamboyant, and sheltering Friends, who shower me with love; and compassionately (gently forcefully) get me out of my head, out of my house, and into the countryside. Friendship is the sharing of hearts.
