I'm home in Rocky Point. Mo is outside plowing snow and I am trying to catch up. It's snowing outside right now. The snow is so deep here that Mo has boards over her windows so that they don't get broken by the crashing snow when it melts. You can't see over the snowbanks in front of the porches. I am in jammies and will remain so until bedtime. No plans for anything other than knitting, tv, reading blogs, catching up on Quicken, and just hanging out. Tomorrow is David's wedding, late afternoon trip to Klamath for a sweet friend and his bride, then a lovely dinner at the Ragland afterward and back to Rocky Point. Sunday morning I will leave early enough to hopefully get home before dark. Back to Jamestown and my kitties which I do really miss.
Funny, the travel blog is for some kind of public consumption I guess. Mo says, "don't put anything personal in there". She likes to share it with her family and friends, but of course it's then not the place for me to ramble on and on about "stuff". This is the "stuff" place, and only my best friends even know where this is. It's my ramble site. So I'm rambling. I really really want to put photos in here of all this snow, but of course in Rocky Point it's still dialup unless you pop for satellite service, so no photos till I get back home. Back to cats and my DVR. LOL I do love that DVR thing where I am not tied to TV for anything at all, but when I want it I get just what I want when I want! Talk about instant gratification!!! Time to catch up on all my guilty pleasures, like American Idol and the L Word.
I have all sorts of visions of Kauai, some of the dream was just what I imagined, maybe even better. Some of it was just another place to travel, maybe not as magical as I had imagined, but then I guess that happens. The waterfall moment was incredible, it's what sticks in my mind from the whole place, that and the snorkel day, and the combo sound of tropical breezes, ocean waves, and the fans, mixed with birds in the morning as the sun rose quietly. I would go back, yes, for sure I would go back. But some of the magic of Kauai is also right here in the states in places like Edisto Beach, same sighing wind and surf sounds and palms. Maybe not the drama of the NaPali coast, or Waimea Canyon, but maybe a bit more laid back. Kauai could have been a bit more laid back if we hadn't wanted to see as much of it as we could. If I went back, I would beach and snorkel more, and I would try to get to the NaPali coast on a kayak.
But now, instead, I am reading work email, thinking frustrating thoughts about deadlines, and goals, and people coming in that I have to manage. Work. Life. For now. Just for now. 15 months.
Jeremy's birthday and he's somewhere in Texas training, Steven in Iraq, blogging thank goodness, Matthew working in Colorado, for the moment a bit absent, Deb doing her thing, doing well in Portland, Melody living her amazing creative life, Deanna back on the road, John learning to live a different way now that Linda is gone. All the people I love, coming and going, and I am coming and going, and coming back. Watching the snow. Reading blogs. Keeping the fire going while Mo plows the snow. Life is good.
