The ONLY joy that came my way today was actually finding the book I REALLY wanted at our used little bookstore here in Kingston!

Setting up a day trip for a favorite neighbor kid for his first trip for gem mining. I adore his wonderment and unique spirit.

..

Opening up my email and finding the letter from the postmaster he promised so I could forward it to Redbubble and get my paypal account adjusted for the debacle they caused!

I just may have to print out and frame this!

Watching two young men 15 and 18 enjoy a new experience. They had a good time and made some great memories for them and me.

Hanging out with my friends, and having awesome-sweet chats with my two girlfriends.

Trying to reconnect with my oldest half sister. And her helping me try to.figure out who my bio dad is.

Yesterday:
A nice long bike ride. And I'd packed a book to make myself rest at the halfway point. I usually power through but wanted to make it a more relaxing ride. So I stopped at a shady spot by the river and read my book for a half hour before riding home. Perfect. I'm doing it again today.

Also yesterday- we ordered our wedding bands and we love them :)

Knowing that my BFF is having the time of her life over in Maui. She's been terribly ill with Lupus, for the past year, and I feel so much joy for her tonight. I'm so glad for the respite she's enjoying while on vacation.

So, I assumed this worker at store was being flirty. Then I thought ..no...small town...she is just being "polite" and "non-discriminatory"...

Until today.....

She informed me that tomorrow would be her last day, and she is moving north. After much conversation, something sparked in me to ask her how old she was. She told me and like took a little step back puffed up her chest and said, "so, not that much older" I was like huh? you mean me? she was like yeah, "29" ... i laughed so hard. I was like "oh sweetheart, I'm 44. So YES THAT much older!" So for a moment, it was nice to be flirted with.

She was cute too. So, I gave her my info.

Now i'm wondering .. was that wrong? and how big of an age gap would you accept to date?

OMG you knucklehead, why didn't you get her info as well...:giggle: I say GO for it!!!

It is safe to say she DID make first contact..and now we do have each other's phone numbers. However, I believe it will be more of just a fun friendship than anything.

lol thanks moe!

That found confidence that was sooooo needed to stand up to the lies and BS that had been happening in my life. It was a thrill to be able to find all the right words and cleanse!

It was as if the dark clouds parted and the sun came out :praying:

the pralines and cream ice cream i had today. :-)
