re entry
Beau presented his side of the trip reasonably well. Right now he’s asleep on the floor at my side. His name should be Shadow – everywhere I go, he is right there. It would be great if I could take him on all my teaching trips! Next week, I will be in Regina SK, CA and he will have to stay with “the girls” for a few days. they like him and take good care, but it won’t be like home.
I picked up my replacement car yesterday. It is almost exactly like the one that was totaled on 4/29. A little newer but same model with the same features (the console is different, it doesn’t tell me which direction I’m going <G>) When I returned the rental car I had to deal with the windshield damage (probably from road construction) the paperwork for that will be almost as bad as all the medical paperwork – an ongoing hassle. I’ve been driving for 40 years. This is the first auto accident I’ve been in where I was the driver. It is not an experience I want to repeat.
Here are some of the things I paid attention to while traveling:
textures of bark and lichen
bird nests
the play of light with all the wonderful greens
now I’m off to the studio to begin the unpacking/re-packing process and to gather a grouping of small pieces for a client to select from.
If you have a Holiday this weekend, enjoy!
Glad you and Beau are home safely. Sorry to hear about the accident, hope you are doing better. Am also sorry to hear that such an impressive driving record has been broken. You know from experience that I cannot make such a claim….I am glad that my insurance company was so very worried about my passengers….”remember” they wouldn’t take my word that you or Kristin were okay, had to speak with you in person. Just take care of yourself.
