What is worthy of the 500th post? Roses? Driving 30 of 77 hours for the chance to ride naughty horses and stay in a yurt on a long weekend? The view from Cafe Paris, so named for the electrical "Eiffel" tower obstructing the 180 degree view?
Spring has lasted three months, I kid you not
These roses smell divine
He owns the [sheep] on a thousand hills
They actually had given me their permission,
the grandma is making a felt rug
When a rock was thrown in this mountain lake the splashes froze!
Two of my colleagues, A & H, the scarf is for the sun
The view over my city from Cafe Paris
And just like that, I've been blogging for eight years. Eight years.
Occasionally I go back and read what I've written and enjoy discovering thoughts I have thoughten and now forgotten. I had not planned for a blog to be the most consistent thing in my life over these years. I started writing it the night before I left for California, after two months of living in Wheatland with high school sophomore Charlie, working at a bank and substitute teaching, having made him chocolate chip cheesecake for his 16th birthday the night before and taken him to get his driver's license. It was to chronicle the beginning of an adventure that has not stopped.
Tonight as I sit on my bed scratching exotic bug bites, or at least bites of mosquitoes to whose venom I am not accustomed, Tom and I email real estate listings back and forth. We hope for the adventure to take a domestic turn soon. I will try to keep the blog fires burning. As long as a few people read it, I enjoy writing it.
