Here is the tree the kids got me for Mother's Day.Things were going on today. Joe went to the ranch to irrigate or I don't know what. The dogs are gone with him, so there's always something missing when they aren't around. Didn't sleep good at all last night, at least was awake 6 or 8 times maybe more, actually felt like 10. I slept o.k. in between those times. Today is the day I have to get things packed to go out to the ranch for a while. Here it is 3:30 and haven't started any packing yet. But have done up 3 loads of laundry, might get one more together before we leave. Mopped the floors. Got a shower and my hair washed - not that you're interested but this is where the time is going.
Judi came over after her lunch at R. Pointe. She brought me a dish of ice cream. She is so sweet and thoughtful. Good thing she was sustaining me because I had only yogurt and 1/2 my juice by then. Here she is finally back home after being gone 6 months and the next day I have to go 50 miles away. We both talked as fast as we could to get caught up, but it will take several more get togethers to do that. Anyway we promised to do some outings together.
At 2 my visiting teachers came and were here about an hour - Bonnie and Christy. I really enjoyed talking with them. Then a peanut butter sandwich and my morning tea for lunch in the middle of the afternoon. I think I'll ask Joe if he wants to go out to dinner, because there's not much here to eat but maybe bacon and eggs or campbells vegetable soup! I've been trying to get all the stuff in the fridge here eaten and cleaned out.
Meantime Lois called and is getting a few more plants for me to put into the yard - blue flax - and I told her I'd be over to pick them up this afternoon. Maybe I'd better see if I can do it in the morning.
Not sure how long we'll be out there, maybe all summer and into the fall, or maybe some weeks more or less. I fretted over leaving here where I'd gotten quite comfortable but Joe deserves some time to be where he wants to also. So it's his turn now. I thought long and hard, and finally got more calm and accepting about the move, especially when it came to me that I didn't need to make a marathon out of it. Thinking of it was stressing me out. And both daughters have told him that neither one of us should be out there now.
I'm not sure if I'll be able to blog for a while, at least until I get the other computer turned back on and hooked up. So there may be a few days without any blogging. Now I'd better go get busy putting stuff to take into a few bins. I want to get together a little art supplies - whether I use it or not is another thing altogether. But I figure I'll be coming back to town for groceries or other events, and can come to the house and more gradually take other things out to the ranch later.
Anyway if you want to call me after tomorrow, use the Boulder number 307-537-5678.
