Life's a Stitch

And more recently life’s a creative adventure with some travel thrown in.

Today is Canada Day, the Canadian reasoning for a July day off, and off I'm taking. In fact, due to its proximity to the weekend, I took an extra day for a total of four days off in a row. As timing would have it, C has to work the same four days. Still looking forward to it.

My goal for Day #1? No must do's, nothing, nada. No laundry, no paperwork nor fulfilling obligations of any sort. A true day off.

My objectives in achieving that goal?

a. Invite an old friend to visit. Remember Marina?

Starmore Marina 1

As happens sometimes in life, I found that time, the wisdom of age and acceptance of differences has erased our major sticking points. I'm ready to pick up where we left off and that involved finishing a premature cutting of the steek to determine there was still a good fit:

Only obstacle – I have to find the patten with my notes. Never seem find the two in the same room.

b. Spend a bit more time researching GPS's for my other pastime- geocaching. This is a complicated but enjoyable task given our Canadian location and standard maps available on American products.

c. Stay in my jammies all day.

So far, so good. Now I'm off on a pattern hunt.
