Back from beautiful New Mexico. I’m sure there are better things than lolling around in a home where the host has been saving up all the really good wine for you, and wants to try out his newest gourmet recipes, and by the way the sun is shining and the news from home is they are expecting another foot or so of snow – but gee – it was pretty bloody good.
New Mexico is an interesting place – pueblos, astounding scenery, great art – and not having to go to work. Phil was disappointed that our friend Hugh didn’t take him out on the Harley, but there is always next time.
I like the new blog Kate – but a biography? Where should I start? I was born at a very early age?
About Bill and organization – he’s right about getting vacations organized. It’s nice to be freewheeling, but hearing all the things you plan to do (spend time in the UP, visit Grandma on the way, drive to Portland, go to a wedding, see lots of friends, spend time with mother) a bit of organization might make it all easier.
Don’t worry about the Blogmothers Union. All mothers want is for their children to be happy. And an occasional communication from said children (are you listening Bill?). And if it wouldn’t be too much trouble, the odd martini, cup of tea or glass of red wine. The longer this goes on the more I realize that Lindathemom, and I are actually sisters separated at birth – I’m with you - who’d want to go to heaven with Mother Theresa when you could be in hell with the interesting people. And Paully – it’s always the mother’s fault – just ask Bill.
As for knowing about technology – I am a technodweeb – ask any of the boys. I have a great deal of admiration for people who act as if they know what they are doing. But I did do a basic mechanics course back when the boys where little and I was a single mum. I learnt enough to know that there are fuses in a car, and that you should get the headlights fixed Kate – you might need them one day.
It's nice to be home - even though I have to go to work tomorrow.
