Came back from CampCon early. I am not built for camping. Aches and pains, still coughing up smoke from the fire.

Amazing how 45 min with my baby ballerinas and I shed a week of stress, stretch kinks out of my continuing back problems, and gives me new perspective on my work ( Read more... )

In yesterday's post I forgot the foray into the IGA store in Parkdale for all the stuff we forgot to bring. That ended 2 block away at a little coffee shop that had Tillamook ice cream.
