Hot springs and Tomatoes


I guess I haven't quite got the hang of blogging yet. I really did mean to do it more often. I mean, I'm supposed to have more time, right? I have been rather busy, besides working. I went to a church women's retreat Sept. 15-17. There were 11 of us in two cabins. Other than a problem with the well, everything was great- good food, good inspirational program and good fellowship. On Saturday afternoon most of us drove to a developed hot springs about a half hour or so from the cabins. Very nice place. Relaxing. Sigh... I didn't want to leave but I would have turned into a prune.

This past Saturday Bob was gone on his own outing with the guys so I stayed home and didn't go anywhere. I did some inside cleaning then worked in the yard from early afternoon to early evening. It was a beautiful day to be outside. I picked a bunch of tomatoes, some of which are now baking in my oven (for tomato sauce).

Well, it's almost time to call it a day and I haven't heard from either daughter. Amazing. Actually, I kind of miss them when I don't hear from them. But I'm adjusting.

A New Beginning

This is a new thing for me. But this is a time of change so why not? About 4 days ago I left my youngest child behind in Boston for her first year of college. My older daughter is in college in Georgia. My husband and I live in Idaho - a long way from them. He retired the day we flew to Boston with her so he is experiencing life without work for the first time in 40+ years. Of course, I'm still working. The house is so quiet. This is a new adventure for all of us.
