And March gets ready to march out. Sorry, that's kind of corny. I am just finishing up the rewrite of LOOMING DANGER. So many loose ends to tie up. Then I will go over it one more time. But I will be setting it aside for this weekend. My son is taking, Jakey and me on a combination spring break and my birthday road trip. We're going to the Grand Canyon. I've seen it from the air, made a model of it in elementary school, seen lots of pictures, but I don't think that comes close to seeing it in real life.I expect to be awed at the sight. Jakey is into rocks and talking about being a geologist when he grows up. What a great place to admire rocks!
My son is the planner and all I have to do is go along and enjoy. I love looking out the car window and seeing the world go by. Getting to smell the air and feel the weather.
I am so looking forward to setting everything aside for a couple of days and getting lost in the wonder of , well, nature and everything.
And then I will get back to things feeling like my mind has been aired out.
Wow, what a great trip -- I've been to the Grand Canyon twice -- it is absolutely awesome. Jakey will love the rocks!!
ReplyDeleteIt's been a rather quiet week for me -- just lots of crocheting and puttering with my patio plants. The plants are starting to put out a lot of new growth and some need repotting. The flowers on the aloe have all faded away so no more hummingbirds around.
There was a bit of excitement last night. About 8:30 I heard a big "thud" -- sounded nearby but I couldn't imagine what it was. I opened the door to the breezeway and discovered my neighbor on the floor!! She had tripped walking in from the carport and had fallen against a big planter and pushed it against the wall of my place. She has lots of physical problems and couldn't get herself up -- we had to call 911. The paramedics were here within minutes -- she wasn't hurt, thank goodness.
I'm working on another horizontal stripe granny afghan -- using a variegated yarn -- work well and few yarn ends to weave in!!
Enjoy your trip!!
Patty, I love going places with Jakey. It is so much fun watching him experience a trip.
ReplyDeleteIt's good that you were there to find your neighbor. The paramedics are great at dealing with falls. It's lucky that she wasn't hurt.
Your new project sounds lovely. Variegated yarn is the best!
It looksb like one of your little gifts has arrived,enjoy !!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your birthday trip. It sounds like so much fun.
ReplyDeleteBy now your second gift has arrived. Oh how I wish I had learned to crochet. I did get a couple of kids starter kits, but so far they are scarey to me !!
ReplyDeleteLinda Osborn, The two kits were waiting for me when I got home last night. The two cat crochet kits look like fun. Thank you so much!
ReplyDeleteMiriam, The trip was a whirlwind of stops. The Grand Canyon was far bigger than I had imagined.
