Hello, Hello!
I'm writing Sunday night which is weird for moi. But, hey! work is CRAZY busy and I have a moment now when I can post. Catching up since I last posted:
Thursday: that was a 16 hour day for me work-wise. oy vey! I couldn't see straight when I went to bed (or before).
Friday: I had the day off. My friend Carol was married (her 3rd time; her new hubby - 4th time). It was a rainy, grey day. Hopefully a good omen for the two of them. They were married in front of a judge at 11 a.m. and then we (and her two sons and another friend) had lunch together at a local spot. I was back on the computer (work-wise) by 3:30 and didn't log off till after 10 p.m.
Saturday: Fed the cats and met up with Dee for knitting and much needed therapy chatting and some lunch! Fun!! Thanks Dee for meeting up. Was back on the computer in the afternoon until 8 p.m. that night.
Sunday: Today! Fletch and I headed out this a.m. to feed the cats and then went north west to the Trexler Nature Preserve north west of us. It was a gorgeous day for a drive and we saw some beautiful foliage:
We had a nice walk that led us to a creek:
The path was steep in places. I've gotten accustomed to walking 5-6 miles, but on flat surfaces. And not for a few weeks (because: busy with work and weddings, etc.). Whew!
(My neck has wrinkles...) It was a gorgeous day. It was so wonderful not to be working (but after I post this I will be). We are going to try to get out again in a week or so. Sunday drives may become the normal for us! We may be old (we are).
Meanwhile, the kids are doing well and have been having a great time in South Beach. Tomorrow they head to Key West. We will continue our cat feeding duties.
Tomorrow I am heading in to the office. I have a conference call at 10 and have to review a ton of stuff with Bill. I think/hope that by the end of this week or next my work will ease up quite a bit. As I've said, it is always this way in October, but this year seems even crazier than normal.
OK - time to get to work. Hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I'm thankful for today - it was a wonderful respite.
If your neck didn't have wrinkles your head couldn't turn. Nice picture of you two!
ReplyDeleteLovely to see your walk and you both!!!! Thanks. Hoping your week will have some moments of peace for yoU!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like you're super busy right now so respites like knitting with Dee and driving/hiking with Fletch are almost like medicine. I truly hope things slow down for you soon.
ReplyDeleteWe've spent the weekend making the final preparations for winter, (I hope, it's getting really expensive.) It's supposed to snow next weekend and be in the teens!
Blessings,

Hello,
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to see both of you, lovely images from your walk. The fall colors are looking beautiful now. I hope your work slows down. Wishing you a great day and a happy new week!
I'm tired just reading about how much you've been doing! I hope the end is in sight for the busy work days and you have some time to catch your breath soon.
ReplyDeleteYou've got some lovely fall color going on. We are still waiting. There is a bit of gold happening but not much.
ReplyDelete(My neck has wrinkles, too.) Our leaves seem to be more beautiful than usual this year, which is such a treat! I love that stunning red tree in your photo. (The red leaves are always my favorites.) I hope your work slows down soon. It's hard to keep up that kind of pace for long. Hang in there! XO
ReplyDeleteIt seems like our leaves in NJ just started turning this weekend and I'm glad you could get out for some relaxing time outdoors. It sounds like you certainly need and deserve it!
ReplyDeleteP.S. My neck has wrinkles, too!
Love seeing the pictures of you both. I hope Fletch never, ever gives up that hat!
ReplyDeleteWhew! I'm glad you could carve out a little time for some fun & nature!!
ReplyDeleteNora Ephron wrote the book! "I Feel Bad About My Neck: And Other Thoughts on Being a Woman" (read for book club, I think... it was OK).
you and your hubbie are gorgeous!! So nice that you are taking care of their cats while they are out honeymooning.
ReplyDeleteWe've been doing drives too, just to remind ourselves that the big world exists out there.
ReplyDeleteThat's a busy weekend - but it sounds like a good one!
ReplyDeleteGood morning! I hope your workweek goes well. I saw my sister this weekend - the first time since May. It was good to get away.
ReplyDeleteUgh... being that busy is just no fun! I hope it settles down for you soon! I am so glad you got out a bit though! The photos are gorgeous! :)
ReplyDeleteI hope your week looks more like those gorgeous trees and a lot less like work!
ReplyDeleteIt's so good to get out and away from everyday stuff. You look very happy in the picture. And the trees are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteYou sure have been a social butterfly of late! Fletch looks very stylish in that hat. When I drove to coast today I saw a lot of gorgeous trees full of color but could not stop to photograph them. Have a good week. ((hugs)), Teresa :-)
ReplyDelete1. Are you implying that having neck wrinkles is not the style, because if so, I'm gonna be disappointed. ;-)
ReplyDelete2. Each of my brothers-in-law on my husband's side have each been married at least 4 times. To be honest, we've stopped making an effort to keep track. I hope your friend does better!
Neck wrinkles are life's necklaces! Hope your day was good-the walk looks like it was a delight!
ReplyDeleteI hope your work life settles a little. The weekend outing looks lovely. Wrinkles/sprinkles you look lovely.
