Tomorrow I head home...

Charlie and I will meet again after his morning class, have lunch at a great little place called The Peak Grill, and then I will be on my way. Adjustment time... going solo again. In the morning, I'll get in touch with my mom who lives north of here about 150 miles and see if she wants me to come by, or not. She has been having a rough time with her health, and of course it has been a hard year for her since my dad died. She moved last March, too--always a big stress. I'm never sure if my...

Long Haul, Short Break...

Charlie is delighted to be back in Colorado Springs, and is moving his gear into his dorm room even now, as I sit in a (relatively) posh motel, one that has wifi, and all the necessaries... I'll be here a couple of nights, until he gets all his moving and shopping accomplished. His classes start Tuesday. (Clever lad, none of his classes meet on Monday!) I'll give the travel news in my Travelblogue--this is about just being plumb wore out from driving and car-camping, which is to say, sleeping... Sign in to see full entry.

Last day... or so

I've been blogging intensely this past month, trying to see if I can make Blogit break even. Gonna get close this month, I think... But what a lot of energy goes into making $20! Good thing this is so much more rewarding in so many other ways! Anyway, tomorrow we are heading out, Charlie and me, for Colorado. We haven't hardly begun packing, and don't know what route we are taking yet. The only fer-sher is that we need to have him at his school in time for classes Aug 25th. We need to get a...

Urgo

About 3 weeks ago, our Urgo was up on the roof when Davy came bounding out in the yard and attacked his rope rat, a 20-inch long rat shapped thing wrapped in sisal rope and strung up on the run line. Davy attacks this thing with great vigor and much snarly noise. Urgo leaped over the roof wide-eyed startled, to disappear. I think that was the moment that Davy became too much for him. When Davy arrived, he was about the same size as Urgo. Over the course of 3 months he is now about 4 times Urgo's... Sign in to see full entry.

I know he'll be back!

Samantha posted this morning about the unhappy anticipation of watching her daughter, her pal, head out to college. http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/sam15355536/ I know the feeling! I sent my youngest, Charlie, off to college last year, and it was I who insisted he get far from the familiar ground and routines of home. He was reluctant to leave the area he grew up in, the one he knows best, his good friends and a good bus system. (He is a kid who never much has wanted the independence and... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, then... Enough of the art festival!

Yes, I'm home already and not planning to go back tomorrow. For one thing, I am quite sunburnt enough! I haven't been this red in years! And of course, it has to be in a funny-looking pattern because of the particular blouse I was wearing, and how badly I need a haircut. For another, it was almost no fun at all, sharing the space with the jewelry artist who invited me. Do you know folks who are so sure of their own way being the best of all possible ways that they never stop to consider or to... Sign in to see full entry.

Art show tomorrow!

I've been invited very last minute to participate in an arts fest in Poulsbo, WA. Tonight I have to have all my stuff ready to go, in the car, to be up there by set-up time, 8:30 am. It's right by the water, at the marina. And tomorrow is gonna be hot! Lucky I have a sunshade, since my partner there won't be able to bring hers. I hope it will be hot other ways, too! Last month I withdrew from the vendor mall I've been displaying for a year--lately that was all: displaying, not selling anything.... Sign in to see full entry.

Charlie's home again for a moment!

Our Davy is wiggling and contorting and frantic with joy to see Charlie again! I told Charlie, "We all feel that way!" Charlie's here for less than a week, just enough time to throw a quick birthday party with his high school buddies, play a game or two, see his sweetie, a gal over in Ellensburg across the mountains, and pack up his stuff for the next year of college. Then we are off again for another road-trip across the West! Yay! Not sure if Davy will accompany us or not... He is still a bit... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling much better now!

Throat is still scratchy, but the rest of it... well, let's just call it Something I Ate that resolved itself around dawn, and after some more sleep, I feel almost perky! Davy was patient, keeping the floor outside my door warm until I emerged around 11. He isn't allowed into my room as I have promised the cats they can have at least one room in the house where they can relax. He is not aggressive with them, just always wants to play, is always inviting them to play, bouncing around like a mad... Sign in to see full entry.

Feeling poorly...

Sometime around mid-afternoon I began to feel sorta blah. Tried a lie-down, reading until I couldn't keep my eyes open, then turned out the light and failed to fall asleep for an hour. Got up, puttering around, feeling that pre-cough slight tightness. I hope it's allergy, or poor air quality. Meanwhile Davy is chipperer than ever... I wonder how he feels about going to bed early. A dull scene in the Ciel Show... Probbly tomorrow I will erase this. Sign in to see full entry.

About this Blog

I'm doubtful the events of my life will be of great general interest, but I'd like to share a little more of me to the several of you on Blogit I've come to feel are real friends, and the many I imagine are potentially real friends. We'll see how it works out. ______________________ all my words and images posted on Blogit are copyright 2005-present, all rights reserved.
