It hit me today. When was the last time I saw Mountains? Real Mountains!? Oh, too long, far too long. I've been so busy packing, the kids clothes, coats, sleeping stuff, house-ie;tent, kitchen stuff, snack treasure trove, buying life sustaining supplies like hamhocks and guitar strings---oops, no, that's Yukon Cornelius---life sustaining supplies of chocolate, marshmellows and graham crackers.
;), books, emptying cameras and charging batteries, taking the dogs to their favorite place to stay. adopting a new guinea pig on top of everything else and I really, REALLY ought to get some clothes packed for me too!----so busy that I really haven't had a moment just to realize what it about to happen and let it all soak in.
I also utterly forgot my Mom's b-day(She understood. She's been thru this too)and I remember my brother's birthday when it arrived a few days later(which is how I realized I had forgotten my moms), but I haven't called him or anything. **SIGH**
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! if you are reading this at all.

But I digress.

I am going to see Mountains! REAL mountains! And the kids will be seeing them for the first time.

Gotta go pack some clothes. For me.

So who volunteers to teach me more manfahi? Can I see a show of hands? Uh, someone? (The sound of crickets chirping)

"Voices whisper in the Wind
The woods, she talks to me
Leaves rustling, the branches cracking
Birds all cooing, the crickets singing
When alone I feel
When sadness overcomes
I'll come and see Her
And then I remember
I'm never Alone"

When I was 21 and missing Ireland so much, that I cried every night, missing the whole bunch, when not even Cee cud make me laugh and when even my hunk couldn't dry my tears, Malene sent me that. (It dinna came thru' writing initially but that's another story to tell, another day mahr) Have a luv'ly vacation mahr.

Hello, what was deleted earlier?
That's ok. It was not important. Have a lovely and wonderful time.

Cee- :) Not the doggy poo? Lol!!
The early morning in Yellowstone--an amazing time.
Clouds draped low on mts, a sliver of the moon shining, startling a mule deer and hearing the rapid thud of her hooves as she bounded away, mere feet away from me. Magical time. And then there's the Bison, I'll write about that later.
Thank you for your wish of peace.
