"Sheer unabashed delight!"

**This is one of those posts that should have been posted in June... but for some reason reverted to draft instead.  I just happened to catch it while I was looking at my index of posts.  Ugh.

Anyway... back to "sheer unabashed delight!"

Is EXACTLY how I'd describe the last week of my life....

It began with The Lovely Barbara coming for a stay.  This always means lots of take-out from fun restaurants and Downton Abbey.

While she was here we also spent a day in McCall.... GREAT time!  This always includes walks/hikes by the lake, wandering in and out of small shops, a caramel apple, a drive through Ponderosa State Park, eating at one of the towns original eateries (some time I'll write about last October when she and I ate dinner at The Brewery.... :-||| )... and this trip we decided to take a quick side jaunt to a historic little town called Roseberry... TOTALLY cool!  Someday soon I'm going back after I've done my homework and learned more about the history of it.... at least more than just trying to read about it on my phone by the side of the road.  There are also 4 little old cemeteries up in that area I'd love to explore.  LOVE old cemeteries... cue 'Zoe's Gift' (and not the nearly porno version in some female mating series... the LDS one by Leslie Beaton Hedley)... speaking of which, I really need (and want) to read it again for the bazillionth time.

Virus's, masks, hand sanitizer, staying home, conspiracy theories, hoarding, facetiming, toilet paper shortage, the worst of incompetency from the very highest level, gaslighting, so much blind and deafness (though, not literally), smokescreens, bold-face lies accepted without explanation.... the list goes on and on. First and foremost though, this is nothing to be made light of. The meme's were a good laugh in the beginning, but they're stale and old now.   People are suffering, people are sick, people are dying.  Medical workers all over the world are putting their lives at great risk everyday, working to save and protect so many.   Grocery and essential store workers, truck drivers and delivery people are making sure store shelves are stocked so we have what we need. It's hard to see a light at the end of the tunnel.  Until there's a vaccine there isn't much "finality" in sight. People.  Oh, the people.  In so many ways huma...

Playing an old game.....

..... Ally and I. It happened as we were driving down Ustick Rd. the other day and saw a car with a Hawaii license plate.... then 20 seconds later Connecticut and Pennsylvania.  Now, if you've never been on Ustick Rd, you might not understand the significance of that. Ally got Alaska yesterday. Guess I better get out more.

Taking a little different direction...

Been thinking mucho the last several days about where I want my life to be. Is it crazy that I'm 47 years old and don't know? When I was 23 I knew more about what I wanted for my life (overall) than I do now. There are a few things I'm pretty sure about, but I also know I'm never going to get there if I'm always thinking so far ahead.  No more tomorrow, next week, next month, next year.  Uh uh. I really feel like everything is going to take care of itself if I live in the moment right now, and ONLY for that moment.  I'm also going to let myself be surprised... not always have everything so carefully calculated. And since I want the unknown, I'm not doing the 30-day photo challenge... So here's where I'm going... and I do know it's a good thing... though honestly, I really don't know where it's going to take me... but I feel like it will be, what it is to be... "Let it be, let it be, let it be-ee, let it be."
