Life has been full, as usual. We’ve recently completed oodles of projects and now move on to preparing for the next adventure.
Let’s review the past few weeks:
Hubby flawlessly installed new floors in our living room and guest bath. After cleaning up the remnants (and reinstalling the toilet) we’re back in business and reveling in a stunning house. (A special shout-out to Chris Frost for helping rip up the carpet and moving the piano, twice).
After many hours of class, practice and adventures to the dog park, Bella has perfected her sit, down, and stay, thanks to her puppy class. She is even (finally) learning to walk on a leash, a skill we’ve never mastered with our sweet old pooch Guinness.
While Hubby sawed and hammered, I’ve spent almost every night writing, editing and emailing press releases for the Santa Cruz Film Festival, where I serve on the B-of-Directors. We’re nearing game time (the Fest kicks-off April 19th with David Arquette’s “The Tripper”) and I’ve worked down to the final flow and have two releases left before the whole shebang is over. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.
The icing on the cake was the purchase of my folks’ GMC truck with 4-Wheel Pop-up Camper. We’re still a little in shock (the good kind) and getting used to the idea of having this great house-on-wheels. The dogs love it, my bike fits in the back, and we’re enjoying my Dad’s homemade laptop stand that I call my “portable office.”
With the endless motion and activity, we’re happy to finally return to the ground and move to the planning stages for our next adventures.
In the not-so-distant future we see our two-week road trip around the West (in our camper, of course!), a summer of drinks on the deck and bike rides on fresh trails, taking Bella and Guinness on long walks, and then transforming our downstairs bedroom into the ultimate home office.
What adventures are you preparing for?
