Moon Time, son stress

Well, is that time of the month again... saw my favorite enigma this morning... handed off Coke, tomato juice, got back a smile that lit up my morning. Must have showed through some tho that I was not feeling my perkiest bc I got a call later this morning inquiring as to my well-being. Sweet. Wonder if Enigma knows just how deeply I care? Probably not, and that is okay by me. .

Son giving me flack about my cars... I know he is stressing about his gf moving back home for summer, the end of freshman year, changing his major, stress over his GPA, but damn, give your mom a break, please! He has no plans for today but he wants the car with the stereo JUST IN CASE they want to go to the river or something. GEEZ. Today he is upset with me because I asked for the Caprice back so I could drive it to work today. It's not like I am asking for a lot. .. especially since I pay the gasoline, insurance, maintenance, registration, etc on all 3 cars (I'm the only one with a job). You see, I put the Celica in the shop Monday for routine work, and Tuesday the Olds had a dead battery... and when I called him for a jump start, he was too sound asleep to answer his phone (that I ALSO pay for). So I ended up hitching a ride to work!. It's not like I am asking for a lot. .. just my Caprice back so I can get to work for another day!! . :-(

Violet

the song was by Courtney Love's band Hole... Violet... I have not idea why it is called violet unless it is just one of the random words from the opening lyrics... oh well! So, update... I currently have 143 cards for sale @ the Bastrop Producers Market... I know because I had to sticker them with my Vendor number yesterday... 27 of those are NEW ADDITIONS that I made yesterday before going out. Lots of fun!! A quiet week is planned... just a board meeting in N Austin at a coffee shop...how could I NOT go?! And Janee Ward's "Stepping Through the Doorway" creativity workshop @ Pine Crone Labyrinth Retreat this Saturday & Sunday. I am expecting "The Toy" to arrive Wednesday so I am pretty sure what I will be doing all of Thursday & Friday evenings :-) Stay tuned.................

The Trip That Wasn't

We were taking 32 days to go to Portland (via family and friends in Arkansas, Oklahoma, Portland, New Mexico & Texas) and back, seeing several state and national parks (including Great Basin, Crater Lake, Badlands, Mount Rushmore, Yosemite, Yellowstone, Wind Cave, and Palo Duro Canyon). On Day 1, a mere eleven miles south of the Arkansas state line, our truck broke down. We called Good Sam & they called Michael from A to Z Towing.  We spent most of 7/15 at Firestone. At 2:30pm they had a verdict, which was that the repairs were outside their scope of practice. We called Good Sam & they again called Michael from A to Z Towing, who towed us to the shop attached to the wrecker company, EZ Automotive. As the shop was closed until Monday, Michael called the owner. After explaining our dilemma permission was given to bring our camper as well as the truck. Michael set our camper down in the parking lot and ran an extension cord so we had power. We also had running water. Thankfull
