Morning in Virginia

After a very late night, Austin and I are up early (of course!). He is playing airport on the coffee table while Robbo and Dad continue to sleep. We'll head into D.C. in a little while, with no serious plan, except to hit the highlights.

Oh, I do have a walking boot/aircast on my foot, so it's a bit easier to get around now painfree...

I'll post some pictures from the day later on.

Lows and Highs

I have our Christmas card name and addresses in an Excel document. Each year I try to update addresses through the year, but usually end up scurrying around to update the list at the end of November and throughout December. There are always names to add to the circle of family and friends and those who have died or I've just lost touch with.

This morning, I finally and painfully deleted a friend's name. After 22 years of friendship. I probably should have let go a few years earlier: but as many of us tend to do, I kept holding out hope that fences would be mended. It's finally time to let go and move on.

Reconciliation takes two. That stinks sometimes.

On a brighter note, the three men in my life and I are headed down to D.C. this afternoon for a little fun before the big race. Keep ya posted!
