Invigorated from river time.
Intensely happy from contact.
Canoeing the Russian River was fantastic and including S. & JL is another step forward. I"m still not sure we will ever resolve all issues but its movement which needs to happen if its to remain viable. I brought my cousin squash and armenian cucumbers in a laundry hamper, a flat of 3 kinds of tomato, potato freshly dug and turmoil. She gave me a coffee can of eggs, holding a 6 week old African grey parrot (what an uglycute dinosaur he is!), pregnancy advice and ease. I saw the children of my cousins and their children too. The river trip was a conglomeration of relations which would make a geneaologist spasm. In a good way I believe. The bottoms of my feet are bruised to the point of discoloration from walking barefoot on the rock.
Ah! Did I mention I gorged at the BBQ? More abalone than I could eat. I had at least 8 breaded steaks and ceviche. Also fresh oysters & bbq'ed from the very friendly couple on the coast.
I'm still wrapped in the warm blanket of the weekend and the hedonist in me shouts: Get the fuck out of here and go live where I can get more of that! Luckily I'm older and a bit wiser and will continue work on the LT goals. It is a good reminder about river time and sanity though; perhaps it is time to reconnect to my remaining rafting crew. Hm....
S. is planning on a combined clinic/vacation to Rwanda in December. Wonder how much vacation I will have accrued after O'ahu trip at the end of the month?
Time for white tea and watering the garden. The first corn tassels have appeared and the tomatoes are finally red.
