Have Suitcase- Will Travel

Filed under: Travel — gardener @ 10:15 am

I have so much that I’d love to say right now, but the day is simply too gorgeous for me to sit inside and miss out on the sunshine, cool breezes and fabulous temps. The last couple of days I’ve really been thinking about our upcoming travels and I am more than excited and ready to go. Today I mentioned it to Marcel and he said the departure date couldn’t get here soon enough. He was actually ready to pull out the luggage and start packing. As much as I wish it wasn’t, it is still a little too early for that.

Tomorrow is Marcel’s birthday, but I hope to have time to write a few words tomorrow. If not- I’ll see y’all Monday.

Keeping Positive

One of my friends was laid off from the company she worked for earlier this year, and because she lives in a pretty remote area, she’s been unable to find any local jobs. She commuted about an hour each way for her last job and she was ready to do the same thing again. She was turned down for a job that would have required she travel 1 1/2 hours each way daily, plus they felt she was over-qualified. I told her I was sure that something would come along- and wouldn’t you know that yesterday she got a call and was hired not a half hour from her home. She starts next week. I hope this job is everything she’s ever wanted and then some. I’m VERY excited for her and can’t wait to hear all about her first day. She kept a positive attitude the entire time she was job hunting and I’m sure that contributed to her finding exactly what she was looking for.

Perfect Day

Today kicked off Marcel’s birthday weekend and I have to say that the weather couldn’t be much better. The skies are blue, the temps cool and I just finished making a huge pot of soup that we’ll sit outside and eat. It doesn’t get much better than this. The day has included drinking coffee at a local farm- turned restaurant, buying raw almonds at a market, taking a long run- walk with JJ and picking up Marcel’s birthday cake.

I wish every single day was just like this one.
