suspects we are all monkeys at heart.

Can't we all just get along?

Part 3
In the beginning, there is light
June 24, 2014


Since I have just returned from out-of-town myself, I have had no time to prepare for my retreat.  What could be so hard?  I line up cartons, bags, laundry baskets and start throwing in the supplies that I will need for my get-a-way.  Some clothes, toiletries, rations and half my art studio are now packed in my car yet I am still insecure about my needs.  I continue piling in more... oops, my laptop, ipad, lightbox, trail mix, more paper, more paint, pastels, cereal, an ice chest and... my car is now overflowing and absurdity is setting in!
My pup Gracie, and grand-pup Monty, are sitting quietly scrutinizing my frantic antics in and out of the house.  OMG! They need to fit in the car as well!  I might as well stay home... BUT I have the grand-kitties, Ursa and Wally, anxiously awaiting my arrival at the town-house in Claremont, Ca .

I will leave the boxes of my precious inspirational picture books and go to a library there.  And I will forgo some food and go to a supermarket there.  I am not off to the amazon jungle.  And who needs clothes anyway?

Hugs and kisses to Hubby and Schmuley the Wonder Cat,  and I am on my way!
On the freeway with radio blasting...
wind blowing in my hair (from the A/C),
sipping coffee,
giggling...
I am footloose and fancy-free!!!!!!
