Thanks for hosting, Eileen!

The water

 Jeff Webb flew a photographing drone over Burnett Reservoir, the source of water for Asheville and Black Mountain NC.

It's really impossible for regular people to ever see the reservoir. Even on the Blue Ridge Parkway, which circles above the watershed, there is no parking allowed where any drainage could go toward the reservoir.

A view from along the parkway several years ago, where we just slowed down and didn't park.

Celebrate life

 
Yes, my son Russ and his family will be attending several World Cup matches, in Atlanta and Philadelphia in the next month.

Today's the birthday of my beautiful daughter-in-law, Michelle. She and my son, Russ recently went to NY city and attended a play "The Lost Boys."

I love Michelle's efforts for gun control and to elect better representatives in Ohio. And she has been mother to three wonderful young women, my granddaughters. 

Happy Birthday Michelle!

Such a sense of joy on the face of my daughter-in-law, Barbara! Caught in the background of another person in a photo!

Some veggies aka volunteers (and employees) of Bounty and Soul food distribution in the Asheville area.

What? I've posted this before? Well, that's what resistance is all about, resist, repeat, resist.

Going a-cross-country vs present time

 

We're planning some smaller transport, pulling the car behind a truck across the country, NC to CO! Yes it's around 1700 miles.

Maybe a repeat by a Honda owner. Does this mean that these car owners all have some kind of brain meld going?

Monument Valley, Utah, shared on FaceBook's American Southwest group

I hope to live about a hundred miles or so from these sights. I feel like Cinderella in many ways, working the mundane tasks to prepare for the magic of the trip, with the goal of ending up living in my own fairytale castle. My imagination takes me to so many fun places!

Every time I cook!

 

No matter how happy I had been in the past, I do not long for it. The present is always the moment for which I live.

JAMAICA KINCAID ------------- I have to make myself do a to-do list, almost every hour...mentally at least. I need to keep pulling my attention away from the future rather than the past these days!  ----------------- Today is the birthday of my granddaughter Caroline!! Happy birthday caroline!!
