Postcard

Hello~

If I had mailed each and every reader this postcard last week, it would probably be arriving with today’s mail.  So, let’s play pretend and sidestep the typical, “Dear _______;  Having a wonderful time, wish you were here” formalities and get to it.

My daughter joined me during her spring break for a week of “down time.” With mild temperatures on our side, we were able to visit a pair of county parks to become one with nature. 

It was a good week too including great food, many conversations and plenty of pictures.

While we were hiking towards the trail to begin our walk through the woods, a strange flock of geese appeared overhead.  I’m always one to add digital images to my ongoing collection so I began to snap, snap away.  I found it unusual that they were not flying in their typical V formation but didn’t think much about it at the time.  Imagine the thrill later when I realized the geese were not geese after all, but migrating sandhill cranes!  They’re only in our area for a week or so at best while  traveling north, so to capture them in flight was rather exciting.

All in all, it really was an excellent visit with my daughter and one I'll carry in my heart for a very long time.  Not only did we enjoy the great outdoors, we seized the opportunity for some shopping.  Five days with her and I was exhausted physically and financially.  What a way to go!

Anyway it’s back to life and reality here.  I’m rolling up my sleeves now to continue the project at hand.  Unfortunately, books are unwilling to write themselves. 

Thanks for checking in!  See you next week.
