"There's no place like home."
Hi! I have seen the world! Or at least Yellowstone park, which was fascinating. Spent time in both Wyoming and Colorado, plus visited family members a few days as well. I saw bears and buffalo and deer and elk and rode a train and hiked and drove and drove and drove...
This week's going to be hectic even though I'm back home again, but it shouldn't take long for me to catch up here on LJ (one of the benefits of having a small reading list). I'm hoping to inundate you with photos but it may wait until next week. We'll see.
Driving a car with automatic transmission for ten days made me forget that mine is manual. I couldn't get the car to start at first until I realized I wasn't pushing on the clutch. Heh.
My mother doesn't like U2. Luckily my (new! 2GB!) mp3 player has room for lots of other music besides U2.
I don't mind seeing bears if I'm safely ensconced in a moving train.
Somehow I became the clothes shopping consultant not only for my mother, but also for a childhood friend that I haven't seen in five years. Either I have good taste or my friends and relatives are really desperate. *g*
The other people visiting Yellowstone in their cars are crazy. CRAZY! Their driving was atrocious--put up a sign and they'll promptly do exactly what the sign warns NOT to do.
Weirdly enough, helping a three-year-old make a bracelet out of beads is easier than helping an eight-year-old. Not what I expected.
I love visiting middle-of-nowhere, Colorado. No cell phone service, no computers, just pine trees, cold-water creeks and lots of rocks.
AND that's about it for now. I have to prepare a presentation for tomorrow, so it's time to stop wasting time on LJ.

I can't wait to see pics!!!
Err, I haven't written in my LJ at all since you left. I'm turning into a bonafide lurker.

So, do you have any particular reason for feeling uncommunicative lately?

Have fun
storming the castlein Cheese-land. The two weeks in August that we spent there were some of the coldest in my life. My relatives there kept saying that the weather was just fine... then we found their thermal underwear in the laundry. Heh.
