Ahh, to be home again. Here is a photo of the beautiful rose that Roy gave me when I went to dinner at his and Chris G.’s house. It was a wonderful treat and welcome to my comfy bedroom, after 2 nights of sleeping on a 4 inch plastic mattress on the floor. It’s great to be back.

The weekend at Pathfinder’s Ranch was everything I wanted it to be. One of the best experiences was when I wandered off by myself into this large collection of boulders and sunned myself like a giant Iguana on the rocks. It helped to see the smaller desert lizards scurry when I approached. The smaller reptiles did not return once I had found my spot, but a male chipmunk/squirrel thing (I’m not sure what it was) came out to do a warning cry or mating call for about 15 minutes. Didn’t know these animals could make this type of noise.

For me the rock lying was being at peace in nature and I had the organic experience of bonding with my belly. There was something about being out there that I was able to find a sense of acceptance. For all the women who might be reading this blog, if I can learn to accept my belly, there is hope for you. Next body part will be my thighs. That will have to wait. For the moment I have the weirdest sunburn of my life and my legs are about three different shades of red. Thank goodness it doesn’t hurt. Here are some photos of my view from the rock.

Note on the world: Today is the Pennsylvania primary. I’m keeping my fingers crossed and anxious to get the results. Good luck Barack! Mark & Michelle have started Pie in the Sky II Road Trip, I’m looking forward to incremental updates from the road. Robin is back up and running after being hit by tornado. Janice survived an earthquake. Gosh, I’m glad to be connected. Look at all that happened while I was gone.

Papal visit, presidential debate and poodle. Don’t think I spent enough time with any of these P’s to have a real political opinion but here it goes after a 5 minute fly-by viewing of each.

Papal Visit - The guy gives me the creeps. His cronies are creepy too. Reminded me of sinister old guys who might be offering little boys candies. Oh wait; that is who they are.

Presidential Debate - Hillary looked calm and cool. Barack was tired and reserved. Barack did not seem to have the momentum and enthusiasm he possessed in the last debate. Loved Hillary’s outfit and she looked the softest I had seen her in months. I think her people were really working for a more feminine look in the sky blue top and sparkly necklace, plus hair and make-up was all lighter and softer. Barack didn’t seem to find his voice or give an empowered answer to his question on the Washington, D.C. gun bill. Hillary seemed to be going strong under pressure. Barack appeared weak. Geese I hope he wins, but I must admit I’m afraid he is faltering. Can’t wait to see what happens on Tuesday.

Poodle - Didn’t spend enough time with the poodle. I don’t think she approves. Somehow my new ailment, insomnia, means I’m falling asleep on the sofa around 9 p.m. Which means I’m up at 1 a.m. writing in this blog. Something has got to change.
