Thankful

There's always the usual list of things to be thankful for. There is the daily gratitude I practice that doesn't require a holiday. This year I am grateful for a new four legged family member.
Bella is 9 months old. She is soft as a mink. Petite and slightly clumsy. She is sweet and affectionate. I'm thankful to my vet, Leslie, who entrusted her care to me. I'm thankful for Bella's youthful exuberance. I'm thankful that she makes me laugh everyday. I'm thankful that
she believes in waking up slowly and that after coffee it is time to play. I believe that Zeke would have loved her.

Meet Bella

Wishing you a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Umm...November?

It is Fall here in the Carson Valley and the weather has been lovely and clear the last few days.

I haven't been here for quite sometime and it seems today is a fluke as I probably won't be back for a few weeks. "What is she doing?" you ask. Well, I got a wild hair to take a web design class online this quarter. It is a two unit class and still somehow manages to suck up all my extra time. It could be because I don't know what the hell I am doing...sort of a frying pan into the fire, trial by error, seat of my pants learning experience. I am liking it though. I think I will pursue more classes in this area. I just didn't expect it to eat up so much free time. Is that it? Well...No...

I still have my drum class on Monday nights and last week I started a 5 week djembe workshop on Tuesday evenings. I have cleared my wednesdays of all commitments as there will be serious sleeping in on those days for the next month. Meanwhile, the yard is calling: hey, look at all the leaves...crap when did that happen?

Still I miss being here, I miss writing if only for myself. I haven't been able to share all the fun I had in SF in September, though I am so glad I went cuz I sure wouldn't have been able to go now. I'm looking forward to the holiday season somewhat...good food and family. I'll be back around then...homework allowing.

YES WE CAN
