Ready For The Next Adventure

So, I’ve been home now since  mid-October.   I like making myself stop and take stock of all that has transpired at semi-regular intervals.   This time it’s on the eve of a new, long-planned and anticipated winter escape.  

Learned Something New... I have very much enjoyed trying my hand at a couple types of art with glass.   Tried my hand at both stained glass and mosaics.   I am very anxious to try more and to give fused glass a try.











Continued On With Long-Held Hobbies
Had several Solstice gigs and new publicity pictures taken to reflect a bass cohort addition to the group.   Now I won’t feel so guilty if I’m away and an opportunity for a gig comes up!






Life Is Enriched By Family, Friends and The Arts
Spent a few days in Bredenbury with Brenda, saw Deed and Fran, spent some time with Millar, MacIntyre and Amy.  Christmas exchange in Dafoe.
I was lucky to be able to enjoy Elton John Farewell Tour with The Brokers, 
movies with Kim and Susan, Hawksley Workman Concert with Alison, “Into The Woods” with some Solstice folks, “Waitress”, lunch with Kevin, “Elf” with Marilyn, drinks with Kim and Pam, lunch and coffee with Linda and a tok sen massage.   






And so,  it is time to shake up my new routine, by leaving on a trip to escape the winter!   I have been looking forward to this for years....6 years to be exact...since my deferred salary year.   I have so looked forward to leaving this weather behind for sunnier climes.   And so, what better place to escape to than my home away from home, San Diego.   This time, a winter road trip!   I have the car all ready, an itinerary planned and a 6 day plan to get there.   A few stops along the way,  “11/22/63” on audiobook, a loaded iPad and a whack of cds ready to keep me company on the way.   I seem to be feeling a little nervous about the trip right now.   Winter driving will do that to you, I suppose.    But the thought of driving AWAY from the cold is enough to motivate me southwards!   Wish me luck.   Next stop, Fort Macleod!! 😁
