Some Days are Diamonds!

Yesterday was the best day since Feb. 28th, Wonders all day...First Syd and I went to take our motor home out of winter storage, which is a springtime celebration anyway you look at it, but I had the dogs in the truck and when Sydney nosed the camper out of the building the dogs both started howling...good times ahead I guess.
Then I stopped at friends house and she had salmon,asparagus,fresh strawberries for supper....spring food!
But best of the day was ahead. I had a book club meeting in Ulm and as I hit the freeway near the airport I was listening to June Carter and Johnny Cash....
"I'll be waiting on the far side of banks of Jordan, sitting drawing pictures in the sand. And when I see you coming I will rise up with a shout and come walking through the shallow water reaching for your hand." By the time June Carter was singing "will the circle be unbroken" I was driving 90 miles an hour. The view was incredible, of course square butte and the other mountains, but they were painted with a blue misty fog and I had such a longing to just keep driving to some place where I would be alone with all my thoughts and questions and no one would ever know that I was not well...
My friend, who lives in a white two story farm house, with a white fence around it, in the middle of the prairie with two beautiful spaniels and horses and a handsome husband with manners, had laid out nuts and crackers with cheese and coffee and cream and some kind of exotic berry cobbler was, as usual, the perfect hostess, and the other ladies....well, I got to say it is the most fun I have had all month...just regular talk and no subject taboo and not pretense.....what a day off. I sure needed that. The trip home was equally satisfying. I think it is the first time I have actually driven the truck and I felt free for awhile.
Grab the good times while you may. Don't overlook any little blessing. Bitch if you want.
