Too marvelous a day

And it's not over yet.  GREAT group sharing wisdom, LAUGHTER, stories, struggles & strategies this morning.  I was tired.  You were terrific.

Then a visit from my incredibly creative/fun landscape architect friend/we were separated at birth/who stopped by unexpectedly.  We sat in the garden catching up/over a vodka tonic/on each other's lives.  His hysterical stories about Burning Man have me thinking that I want to add this to my Bucket List.  In an RV.  Not a tent.  WHOA.   Pretty intense.  Good photo ops from what I can tell.

AND!, I stopped in Cost Plus on the off chance that they might have some Halloween/My Big Holiday/items to photograph.  OMGOSH, did they ever.  And Christmas!!!  I may run out of time to share pictures today (I did) but will definitely do so tomorrow.  Scary but fun.  As opposed to Very Scary Hatchet Murderer kind of costumes/scenarios at the first Halloween shop I visited.  Message:  Go to Cost Plus first next year, Lois.  And all of you, too, if you're in the market for decorations for children/grandchildren/yourself.  Loved the soft, indestructible ornaments for little hands to hang. 

More tomorrow. 

And it got even better.  Pretty amazing/very touching.  Thank you, dear friends.  How lucky am I? 

Very.
