The Universe at its best...

This road trip is so much fun!  And it's not even close to over.  I'm visiting with my dear friend, Daniela, my roommate from grad school.  It's been 10 years since we've laid eyes on each other.  That saying?  "Feels like it was just yesterday..."?  This is where that saying comes from.  It's true.  It's like not a day has passed.  We may not know all the details of what's happened in each other's lives, but we have fallen into that comfy place of relating to each other like the dear friends we are.  And we're making quick work of learning all those details of what's happened.  How we've each changed.  How we are each the same as before.  It's delightful!  Having people who get you when so few people do.  I am truly blessed.

Anyway, it took days to get here, and I had a lot of fun on the way with other people who get me, like my friend Rhonda, my parents, and my sister.

So it's time for a flashback to last week.


Here's the view from my parents' porch the day after I arrived...




And from the back of their house, when there was a storm a'comin'...



Here's a stream and a tree outside a restaurant where I had delicious chicken enchiladas with blue corn tortillas and green chile sauce.  The restaurant is at the local ski resort...



Sunrise from the front porch...

As I said, I have lots more pics coming your way.  I may post more than once a day or I may not.  I'm on vacay.  I will decide when I decide.

Either way, right now, it's NAPTIME.  :)

  1. So glad you are having such a great time. Those 'just like yesterday' friends are the best. So few and far between, and such a treasure. That fence/birdie house pic is a gem!
