Well, I have been driving around the country trying to figure out my life. This week I have been at Lake Tahoe, and it is incredible. It is beautiful from Vista Pointe and beautiful from the paddle wheel boat on which we took a 2-hour cruise. However, I still have been waiting for a sign. Finally, today I got it – from my younger son, who needs vacation help. So, next Wednesday, I will leave for Cody, WY and see a friend with whom I went from kindergarten through high school. Since we have not seen each other in 25 years, it will be really fun. From there, I will travel to Rapid City, SD so I can see Mt. Rushmore while I am all the way out here; then on to Overland Park, KS to visit my nephew and family. That will be my final visit for a while because from Kansas (without any red glass slippers, I might add) I will travel straight to North Carolina to find out what need to learn before he leaves. Enough, dilly-dallying, I believe. It is actually time to start living some kind of regular life without Mike. It will not be the easiest thing I have ever done, but I have great memories, and had a great love and will be fine. I will just have to put off a few side trips, like Florida, Ohio, Illinois and Colorado until September.
This week Carol has been trying to teach me to knit – something as easy as a dishcloth; however, I believe that by the third day, she was drinking quite a bit of vodka to be able to stand my ineptitude. I am learning, though. By the time I am 70, I am certain I will have finished at least one. Thanks for reading. Ricci
