A rotting tree that just happens to also be making a face.
I've been going up "to the cabins" with my wife and her family for a number of years now. The exact number of years escapes me, and Ms. Rivers for that matter. The accounting though really doesn't matter all that much in the grand scheme of things. What does matter is family, and I am eternally grateful to be a part of my wife's family.
So, what does one do in a place with no cell or Internet service in 2018? Well for me, it was...
...about 5,000 words written. Of that, maybe 2,000 are actually any good.
...several hikes in the "not too cold for this time of year" grounds of Ricketts Glen.
...finished reading Almost Everything: Notes on Hope by Anne Lamott.
...eating more cake than I should have.
...taking photographs (see above for a smattering).
...discussing all things corporate learning and HR metrics with my sister in law Julie.
...creating a new bill tracking spreadsheet for 2018. I know, only I care about that.
...explaining the ins/outs of blogging to my mother-in-law, a published author.
...trying to figure out how to be both comfortable and warm in a cabin bunk bed.
...enjoying homemade bread created by my wife's sister's husband (my brother-in-law?).
...a drive to Benton, PA to shop in two antique stores; I bought a 40-year-old architect's scale.
...fishing a dropped prescription out from the dishwater.
...talking about our life in (real) retirement with Ms. Rivers.
...pondering life in 2019.
Happy New Year to one and all!
