I’ve had the most frustrating and yet wonderful week of my year.  Frustrating because I really haven’t accomplished much of anything work-wise.  On the other hand , it’s been a good week because I’ve been enjoying meeting with family and friends.

On Wednesday my Breakfast Club met for a two - mile trek around the Bloedel Reserve onBainbridge Island ( http://www.bloedelreserve.org ).  This garden field trip had been on the books for months, and I wasn’t about to miss it.  I should preface this by mentioning that we were given a map.  What we didn’t realize is that none of us is capable of reading one! 

Thankfully, we didn’t require a Search and Rescue team to lead us back to the parking lot.

Yesterday Wayne and I drove into Silverdale to upgrade our phones.  All I’ll say on the subject is that I’ve given birth in less time.  This afternoon, Renate, my assistant, and I are taking a knitting class.  Did someone mention revisions, writing the synopsis for the 2009 hardcover?  If so, it’s a distant and faint voice that is fading into space.
