My "Stuff You See Along The Way" Album

"Because it's like taking a vacation from real life,

and real life is mostly terrible."

~Kara Lee Corthron

The Truth Of Right Now

This past year has been exhausting. One dreadful day, after another, so I was really ready for our vacation, but I have to tell you, our vacation was a mixed bag of experiences, so I was ready to get back to real life. It wasn't the most relaxing or fun vacation we have ever had, but we did have an amazing time here and there. We took lots of day trips, and we enjoyed the autumn sun very much! Watched a lot of movies, mostly Halloween/spooky themed movies, but we also watched a lot of different Rob Lowe movies, my favorite being, St. Elmo's Fire! And no, I haven't forgot to clue you in about our Rob Lowe experience/memories, I am just saving them for next week! So stay tuned for the details! It's kinda fun! Well, it was fun for us!

Anyway, because we took so many day trips, mostly around the Central Valley, Carson City, and the Sierra, we naturally saw all kinds of interesting things! Stuff I had NO IDEA even existed! We found some new restaurants, and parks! We found a lot of amazing little towns, bright with autumn color, and we did what we could to just take a step back from the muck of day to day politics! But one odd thing that kept coming up, that we hadn't noticed on past vacations, was that people seemed grumpy, and not quite as welcoming. I can't blame them, they are living in the same world we are, and they weren't on vacation! It's important to try to remember right now, we are all under stress, and it's also best to remember, if someone offends you, and you know you did nothing wrong, it's not you, it's the world weariness we are all under!

Think Compassion First,

But Stand Up For Yourself With Forgiveness!
