Road Trip

I'm off tomorrow morning to beautiful Canmore, Alberta, Canada.

I'm going to go hang out with Corey and be available to her family in whatever way I'm needed.

We will probably go up to her folks' house on Monday to check in on them and see if there's anything we can do to help Kaye manage. Charlie went home a couple of days ago and is trying to settle in to his post-heart-attack self. It's hard. Maybe we can encourage them - pray that we can.

Tuesday is Corey's birthday.

We haven't been together on either of our birthdays for years and years and years.

It will be good to see her.

Good to talk.

Good to renew.

I'll be back late Wednesday.

I'm driving.

So if you think of me, say a prayer for safe travel and clear roads - I've gotta cross the Canadian Rockies...

Could you think of a better time of year to drive through the Rockies? I can't.

Oh - and pray for Asia and the kids. They manage just fine without me, but it never hurts to pray.

I'm not taking my computer, so I'll be out of touch 'til Thursday.

Cheers, friends.

Smooch you all.

    Asia, Lorraine is gone this week too. To bad we don't live closer, we could whip up a big batch of mac & cheese and feed the whole gang. Oh well. Try not to burn too much.

    Oh, and Ug, I know you'll drive safe. Enjoy your trip and we will pray for the safety from those crazy drivers around you and for good weather, and no mechanical issues.

    Cathy,
    enjoy your time in Canada! I drove through the Rockies about two weeks ago, and they were beautiful. I think I did the same sort of trip as you - one to hang with an old and dear friend! Say hi to Corey for me, and let her know I've been praying for them!

Happy Birthday Cathy! , originally uploaded by Pink Paper Peppermints . All of these sweet bloggy friends threw me a cyber-birthday party! How fun is that? Thank you, dear friends. I am touched. It's really just what I needed today. Sweet Tanya even made me a cake. If you want to follow the party around cyber-space, you can go to Melissa's blog to see everyone who is participating.

Getting to know you Wednesday

So it's been awhile. But I thought hearing from ya'll might cheer up my little snow encrusted Spokane self. So today, if I get at least 12 comments, I'll randomly pick one and send that lucky commenter any CD from Your Music . Whatever you want. So today, in light of mid-winter doldrums, I want you to answer the following three questions. To escape mid-winter doldrums, I like to: My favorite winter memory is: I know Spring is coming when: Okay, friends. Now it's your turn. Go to it.

The floodgates have opened.

So, I was doing pretty well managing my emotions. I kept telling people that I had processed a lot of my grieving over Tejan's departure back in January - when we were so close to saying goodbye... and so that must be why I wasn't feeling overly emotional about it this time around. I hadn't shed any tears. Hadn't choked up in that strange, overwhelming way where I feel like my whole head is filling up with fluid and my throat is so constricted I'm just sure I'm going to die. Nope. I was doing just fine. And then I went out to dinner with some girlfriends. And while I was a little socially inept because I'm a kind of overwhelmed and not really wanting to talk too much lately (perhaps in subconscious fear that I might touch on a nerve that would cause my aforementioned steely resolve to crumble) I thought I got through the evening fairly well. I didn't tear up - or need tissue for any fluids defiantly leaking from my facial orifices... until I made the a...
