vacation day the last one

Well, I'll have to send you over to Bob's blog for continued vacation blogging, because mine is just about over.

So many things left on my admittedly unrealistic "to do" list. My bike is not ready for summer. Our Alaska pictures are not organized. House is a mess (can't do yardwork and housework in the same week) and we need groceries. All we have is coffee and broccoli.

BUT! We went to Sudbury on Saturday to visit friends. Came home on Sunday, stopping in Toronto to visit more friends. Laughed a lot. Ate a lot. Talked a lot. Our best conversations have always been in the car, on long trips. Thought about a lot of things. And it's good to do that, every now and then.

As I always am after a week like this, I am grateful ... for Spike, for friends, for nature, for memories, for conversation, for meaning - and also, for blogs! When it's all said and done - life's pretty good.

See you in the salt mines!
