Leaving again
I'm going away again, but not far. I'll actually be within biking distance, but I won't be biking due to the wicked and cold wind. I'm supposed to be going on a retreat, but since I've been gone nearly 6 weeks in the last 3 1/2 months, the best retreat might be just staying home. I'm really a homebody, so the trips have been out of character and out of my comfort zone. Three times I drove 1000 miles and once I flew out east. I often don't even go more than two miles from home in a month.
But maybe when I'm there, I'll be able to forget my cares and have fun and fellowship and do some of my hobby "work"....if I get enough sleep. And if the weather is not too brisk, I'll take a lot of pictures.
