Sounder Seattle Bound

-
Valerie asked to go to Seattle with her friends today and even though I agreed and planned to drive her and her girlfriends, she insisted on traveling alone via Sounder. Yikes!! I first said "no" and she said, "mom in a year I will be on my own doing this stuff!" Double Yikes!!!! So off they went to Seattle this morning. My momisms following her are:
  1. Don't talk to strangers
  2. Send a selfie with location q30minutes
  3. Watch out where you are walking
  4. Don't talk to homeless people
  5. Don't talk to each other while crossing street
  6. Be aware of your surroundings
  7. Cross body your purse
  8. Get a map when you get there
  9. Stay in a group always
  10. Run to the nicest looking person if someone is following you
  11. Get off on the right stop tonight
  12. Have some fun
There were a couple more but they were more mom worst case scenario dramatic! Why do kids have to grow up?

Crimmy I never had the desire to go to Seattle. Even when I was older. Kids are fearless.

The only instruction mom gave me when she let me take the bus to Minot with Caroline was make sure you get on the train to get back tonight. Dad will not want to drive to Minot to pick you up... And she wanted to know if Woolworth had their fall material in so she could start making our clothes for school... We did great both ways it was one of the fun things I did growing up... However when we moved to Washington she would not let us go any where with out her for several months...

Calling All Women

The Challenge: Have as many women as I can interpret what I meant by "Spending ever day looking for new ways to reinvent our relationship." Please leave your comments so that I know I wasn't speaking a foreign language with my spouse. Men, feel free to comment as well! I'm sure you will anyways. Conversation with hubby: Me: I have a New Years Resolution that I think would be fun for us, do you want to hear it? Man: Sure Me: I think every day we should look for new ways to reinvent our relationship? Man: What do you mean? Me: I just said what I meant. Man: No you didn't really explain what you mean, though. Me: You know, finding little things that would change our relationship...doing something each day. Man: That seems taxing! Me: Working on our relationship is work? Man: Yeah, I wouldn't know what to do. That's 365 days, you know. Me: There are calendars out there that will tell you things to do that are romantic! Buy one. Man: Yeah, but most of them are ...

Monday, when we got back from our anniversary trip, found a note on the counter that read: Suzanne called. Play group. Tuesday at 830am. Who would schedule a playgroup so early? Doesn't anyone sleep in? Let the kids find their own breakfast, and stay under the covers till they beg for lunch? Well, you know heat here in the summers, ranging around the 100's, makes us southerners wake up early in the a.m. to do the things we enjoy. When noon rolls around, we hull up in our homes, doors tightly shut, curtains drawn, trying to escape the BIG BAD (the sun appropriately named, right Spike?)! I guess that was not in the cards for us today! We spent the early morning hours playing at the park with pretty much everyone from Journey! Unfortunately around 10 a.m. the heat found us and forced us to retreat to Suzanne's house for some relief! We had a great time chatting, the conversation ranged from ovulation...and ended with ovulation. I think Micheal enjoyed the conversation as much ...

My latest obsessions….puzzling The week after Coyote made a surprise visit! It’s been awhile since I posted! I was just looking back on some posts and giggled so I think it is important to continue since posts tell the story of my life. These pictures were from our latest venture to Paso Robles to see Coyote! Mark, I, and Charlie drove to Paso Robles California in approximately 18 hours. We stayed three glorious days and drove home within the sametime frame. While we were there, we got to see Hearst Castle, visited San Luis Obispo, saw the ocean and tons of beached Sea creatures, ate amazing food, drank amazing coffee, visited a couple of thrift stores, art galleries, and was surprised to find a outdoor vending machine full of specialty meats and cheeses. We purchased a cheese that was literally black all the way through. It was so good and tasty. It had a wonderful lemon taste to it and was very mild. Our Airbnb was located on a Vineyard. Coyote, Kees, and Pharaday even came over and ...
