Time has finally started to expand the way I'd hoped it would. At least my relationship or awareness of it has begun ease into a more expansive environment. We've been gone for 23 days. My mind has stopped racing to the "next thing" that needs to be done. I woke up today with a sense of calm that feels real. The 8 day headache seems gone as well. Last night J and D invited some people over for dinner that they wanted us to meet. I really enjoyed the conversations. Even the ones that didn't revolve around me. My brain is playing the footage of Dr. King's "free at last, free at last......" .

Let the deep relaxation begin as if your life depended on it.

We are in Minneapolis Minnesota where we celebrated Thanksgiving yesterday. We arrived Tuesday afternoon to the home of our dear friends DW, JR and the new puppy Dune. We are going to stay here for a few days.

So far we have traveled 2,760 miles, visited with 29 friends, driven through 20 states and have been gone 3 weeks.

Let the good times roll.....on.

Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for you.

Wednesday, November 19. From the afternoon tea table of Gay Smith where she and CAF are deep in conversation about...I don't know what-life's rich pageant.


We have been gone almost 2 weeks, That's 13 states, 10 visits, 7 beds and almost 1700 miles. We are here in NC for a few more days, giving my back a rest (doing pretty well) and visiting many people in this area.


Suze and Kent have been great hosts and we have been laughing so much my temples still hurt. Yesterday was my 50th birthday. Had a pleasant day, very cold here in the mountains, Gay, Paulus, CAF, Suze and I enjoyed BBQ ribs and coleslaw that Chester made. He is a master craftsman on the Weber.
Good times and no so far I don't feel any different.

Portsmouth NH, Somerville MA, Dartmouth/Fall River MA, Baltimore MD, all is well. Having a good time looking at our friends, their homes, their studios and their art work. Catching up with our selves. Relaxing--- not so easy. CAF does not remember how. But we are on our way to giving it a trying. Love to all. Bless the cell phone and computer.

November 10, 3:30 pm CAF and I got married after a 16 year engagement. Thank you to all of our dear friends for the warm wishes.

7:15am. We've waited a long time for this day.

CAF and I want to vote at 8:00am. It's going to be a good day I can feel it.

The end of October. Two things happened yesterday.

First the good news: I finished up at the school and have a little time off. CAF are going to take trip and visit a few people and places we've always wanted to. The second....

I received this in the mail. My birthday is this month.

OUCH!
