Travel

We have been on the road.  My grand kids are being good travelers, but they like air travel over a long car trip.  I should have them home by tomorrow.

There are far too many cars, trucks, and RVs on the road these days.  That's my take on the situation.

    Hey, that's just the way 95 looks when I travel to Fla. in Jan or Feb.

      i did not expect the traffic to be so bad. There were considerably fewer campers though.

      My seven year old grandson and I have similar taste in music--Bob Dylan, Carole King, Janis Joplin! How long will that last?

    I like getting there much better than most travel, unless it is over country roads and past rural farm lands. At least there are car games.

    I hope the remainder of your trip remains safe and sane. Your observations on traffic are spot on.

    That is how most of the California freeways look all the time. Hope you make it home safe! There are some crazy drivers out there.

    Are they too old for the alphabet game? You are a brave soul. Hope you're soon safely home.

    Yep, it's like that around here in Seattle too, traffic everywhere. Safe travels.

    I tend to be like the grandchildren, preferring to fly rather than drive unless it's only a couple of hours. The increased traffic is a big reason why.

    Hope the rest of the trip goes smoothly.

    Aw, I miss those long trips with my parents in the car. We played games a lot. It was nice being and having a captive audience, eating out and motels with swimming pools. Today I still enjoy the trip almost as much as the destination.
    Have a safe and happy trip.

    I agree with your grandkids! Give me a plane any day! Lol.

    Oh! You should come here. We do traffic like nobody else.

It's TIme

 It's been a while since I have posted anything and even my reading your posts is falling by the wayside. I am in Florida now. I have a yard where little attention was spent on landscaping for the past years so I am slowly and (somewhat) methodically addressing that. I also volunteer to work at the pollinator garden and the edible garden I helped install at the UU grounds and I took over the volunteer job of cleaning out the overgrown community garden by my neighborhood mailboxes. The neighbor who was doing that got sick and could no longer attend to it. It's a bigger job than I'd thought at first -- not only overgrown with weeds, but the plants that are wanted there are in life and death competition for each others' spaces. And two walks a day, morning and evening, so Levi can keep up with addiction to canine social media and a daily rousing came of stick or ball midday take up another chunk of my time. I have a weekly meditation group that I co-facilitate, and my own ...

New Furniture

 We went shopping for a new couch. I liked this one, the first store we went to. Of course it would be an impulse to buy the first one so we trekked around to other stores -- something we liked more, a better deal? No surprise that we ended up going back to that first store the next day and purchasing that couch for our living room. Also a matching love seat for the den where we watch TV. Because I had replaced my old love seat with two recliners. We couldn't keep three households worth of furniture after all. Well, my recliner was not big enough to accommodate both Levi and me. Poor boy had to watch TV from his bed on the floor. There! This is much better! Spoiled much? The little tail on the floor belongs to his toy squirrel, Buddy. It's like having a toddler with the need to be picking up toys or risk tripping over them. But his very favorite play thing is that bathmat that can be found anywhere but the bathroom floor.

Walking

 I have always been a walker. Now that I have a high energy dog there is no excuse for not getting out there. And the weather is not an interfering factor here. Early morning and early evening are our preferred times so even when it gets hot we should be okay. We can get quite a long walk going around the neighborhood, greeting neighbors out working in their yards or walking their own dogs. But the landscape changes quickly just beyond the confines of the housing developments. It could be described as natural Florida or as sites of future housing developments. I do prefer the first option. And I really enjoy being out in natural areas so I often opt to head to a nature setting. I would have liked to put a picture here. Unfortunately my iPhone has made a unilateral decision. It will no longer be sending my photos to my computer. Why? I have no idea. However, we may be walking along happily enough -- me listening to the birds or trying to identify wildflowers and other plants while L...
