Lately I have been going back and forth....to Bisbee or not to Bisbee that is the question...there are not so many trees there and it is very hot....but the light is sooo clear. I see how lovely it is here now in April in Vancouver WA, the air is full of flowery smells......but I know by November with all the rain I will be miserable again, sleepy and dragging around. And summer won't be here till July 1st anyway.....
This is Mt. St. Helens. 2010 from the Star Mountain Hike, Washington State.
Heaven really when it is not raining and it rains from October to April....it is April now and is still raining...it is April 15th....my famous Aunt's birthday....she would have been 101. Come to think of it mom always mentioned how old all the relative would be NOW if they were alive....grandma Lulu would be...geezeee 130 years old I can hear her say....grandma - she is sitting to the very right here....and auntie and mom and a bunch of others that would have been at least 120 or more by now....hell I am getting there too....
Lordy, Lordy....1966......it was not long after this photo...or maybe a little before I went to see the Beatles in Portland, Oregon.....And my lovely imagine is the young gal in the glasses with those bangs.....sitting between my little cousins.....cool....
More photos of the hike below....hubby says it is the "Starmountain" Hike in Washington again. Anyway there was snow which is not quite as bad as rain.....at least it really clears the air out....and gives so many of you that 4 seasons longing. Oh holly crap....there is the SUN....
Ok see they have gloves on so it is cold.....I am off to Bisbee.
I don't meditate. I can't sit long enough and my mind wanders and wonders. My friend told me to try looking at this image and I will be darned....it works.....my mind relaxed for once. I think it kinda looks like my outdoor wicker chair set.....the one my puppy chewed up....it was white though. See what ya think....
I get the words mixed up too....meditation, mediation, modulation,
Ok well we all know about the nut case running North Korea right? Well I love what this guy...no not the nutcase but John has to say. Really spot on......Hogue Prophecy Dear Lord forgive me.....
Hey, Bisbee is pretty progressive down there near the Border. Looks like someone is thinking. We join and celebrate their free thinking about Civil Unions. More power to you. So...this is why we want to go to Bisbee....a little bit of paradise soon....
So...you are not sure of what this is all about? There are times when we all experience a profound sense of transformation....of freedom for one reason or another....youth is one....being a senior can bring that feeling back again too. Many of us after years of responsibilites can begin to feel those lessen or not. For now they have lessened and this is celebration time, a new time of discovery, a new sense of freedom for as long as it lasts. It will come your way too one day.
Ok Patti give um what you got! Funky Funk Funk ....suddenly I just love orange and hoop earrings.
Sing along Now............

Love this place.....spiritual....mystical.....amazing and yes cold has all get out in the winter. So thank dear, blessed falls that I sat under as a small child to a full grown, senior adult. I am off to the sun and shall forever remember you.
At Klispan Beach Washington in the cold, dark, damp winter I have always loved till now AT 60 my poor old body says enough of the cold, dar, damp, rainy, stormy, where is the sun, it pours from October till April almost, I mean if you are really honest it just rains and rains here. Anyway here is what the rain does to you in the Great Pacific Northwest....yes I know, I know. The winters here are cozy and yes I know you like the 4 different and distinct seasons but I lived once in Arizona a long time ago and if I had known about all the semi-tropic plants and birds and the sun, sun, sun and the warmth, warmth, I would have moved and stayed years ago and you know they have these placed to eat down there in the sun with actual Misters that call them...yep they spray mist on you and I can't wait till I get so hot from the sun I need three of those, them darn misters going all day. So be it! (Long Beach I love ya and went back each year to rent that little mobile and sit and hear the ocean at night....just too old and too cold now).
I had dinner with some friends last night. I figured out who I am. At 60 I am the female version of Richard Simmons. I mean why not? He is cute, loving and fit. He loves you unconditionally and so I do I. What more could you want. Yay! I finally found myself!
I am in the middle of this life crisis.....I am 60 but I don't know how to act it. Half the time I feel 23 and then something in my head says " Act older now as you are 60". What the hell does that mean?
I colored my hair finally. But then thought I should have left it completely white. Oh well Bisbee won't find much if it is black or white or brownish. Anyhow we are getting packed for the trip. Thought about all the other trips I been on and the 1000's of photos I can add....oh when I, wish I , maybe could and hopefully will...one day retire..... Mom's birthday today....she would have been 98 bless her heart.....guess we look alike in some ways.....what a gal....
