day 1
official day 1 of vacation: 1. started off strong with a celebratory clean out of mei-mei's delicate private box. "start vacation fresh, i always say," she purred. there was some cement like substance that needed a good soaking but i got her done. 2.washed the dishes. what a lark! 3. parceled out some seeds for katie. 4.filled up with gas at 1.99 a liter. much regrets it was 1.85 later in the afternoon. still i felt a virtuous glow. 5. met katie at 1001 steps which are really 206. but it's enough. we sat on the rocky beach, talked and designed a barely noticeable rock art installation. the sun was glorious. we even felt hot at times. 6. we puffed up the stairs stopping roughly every 50. accomplishment. 7. ate lunch at a little dinner by gramma b's old place. we both felt it was familiar. 8. found gramma's place by memory. poked into the back yard. 9. chit chats. 10. started a fast for my hubby on his way to damascus. 11. finished the wedding pic...
