Hmmm… and other thoughts

Carl & Carrie-Redhook

Well, things have felt busy.  Likely because work is chaotically, out of control busy.  So, when I'm not there, I'm tuckered out.  Plum tuckered out!

So…let's not think about yucky work.  I'm super grateful to have a job & know my bills are paid, but for now---no work!!

Let's see…. hmmmmmm, Carrie came up to Seattle with Carl a few weekends back to look at the area and see about property.  They so perfectly forgot I lived SO CLOSE!  So, we made plans after they arrived to meet up at Redhook.  We had some food and fun.  They LOVE my town (of course) and found a few areas over here that are livable! YAY!

 Silly Faces!

This silly faced photo is not as silly as some, but still one of our little 'breaks in the courthouse day' photos.  I think we had gone out to the mexican place
that was a taco truck and is now in an old KFC building--MM-GOOD!  Look at that crazy spacing!  I bet this post is going to look mighty funny!

Perhaps then, I should come to a close and just do wee posts with only a photo at the top and bottom until I figure this  silliness out--which will not be tonight.  Maybe, just maybe, I'll even get all ambitious and post some of my road trip planning.  We'll see.

I'm just tired after the chaos.  It must not be chaos forever.

Right?

Thinking Back

Normie-norm circa 2006

I miss this guy.

I miss him quite a lot.

The best pup a girl could hope for-or just end up with ;)

I've been thinking road trip, dreaming it & this guy was my amazing road trip companion.  He was brilliant company; listened well, responded when necessary, sang with all the best music, listened to the books on CD I brought along & always laughed at my jokes.

Norman loved detours, side trips and all the wonders of the road.  He didn't mind the long hauls either, he def helped keep this driver awake…he was the best.

It is rough.  When you have a companion this awesome for so many lovely years, for so many miles…it's hard to think about the miles ahead.  There is going to be some lonely road ahead.

The duckie wasn't an uber favourite..the frog-yes, and alligator, bunny-bunny for sure, the silly pink pig and squirrel…but def the alligator and bunny!!

Oh my Norman, I do miss you!
