good things

I remember my vacation 2 years ago in March, '09...

They said I couldn't ride the mules in the Grand Canyon

because I was over the weight limit of 230 pounds. (link)

Well, mules, soon we shall meet again.

And this time, there are no restrictions.

And this lovely poppy field is a Poppy Preserve (link)

Where two mountain ranges meet.

Also California's State Flower!

It's a big old hill, just wanting to be climbed.

Maybe have some Yerba Mate tea once I reach the top!

And of course, I get to see my old friend the Pelican.

On the pier at the Ocean.

The picture that made me cry.

"Could that really be me?" I remember thinking.

And some new things! 

This is Joshua Tree National Park (link)

Since it's a National Park it's safe enough....

But no refund on account of bears, they said.

........

Oh yes, and the tickets to Wicked came today!

3rd row. 

What wonderful things are happening all over the place!

And a guy I helped sell his horse trailer for,

he is letting me borrow some of his camping gear.

So when I go to the Grand Canyon, 

I get to sleep in a tent, under the stars.

(Army, remember!)

All this excitement comes in March.

But/and there's plenty of excitement here now!

.......................

My second job is great.

My first job - loves me even more.

..............................

It's all happy happy joy joy 

all over the place.

AND it looks like I might just survive

The Fasting Phase of Pseudo-Induction!

Maybe even thrive a little.
It's been a full week.

Right now I feel all girlie and mushy and

kinda overwhelmed at all the kindness and

support from Blogland, too. Having that flu

maybe turned me into a Softie!  ;D

Thanks again! Hope Your day is wonderful!

And good things are happening to You!
