Everything is just a Process....after all...

HST Layer cake medallion..
Took so long cuz..the lattice pieces were 2 inches too short%^$  Really???

To my wonderful daughter...I think I see you on that mountain. Let me adjust my bifocals. 
You have not been eaten by a bear, bitten by a rattlesnake nor fallen off a cliff.
Not yet...
In fact, I think you told me, that you got up early today, went to the camp ground to claim the best spot. Then....you  pitched your tent....all by yourself. 
Your man, bringing in the bacon, by working, remotely on his laptop..
......on a park bench by the B&B
You have been gone for 5 weeks.

If I could choose safe..you might live in Charlotte and make babies and sew.
But, I did not do that myself, when I was young...as you tell me often.
When I graduated from college and left Arizona to be a flight attendant with Pan Am,
My mother and grandmother stood waving goodbye.
They were wishing I would live in Phoenix,
make babies and sew.
When my grandmother left Sweden for America at age 15...I bet it was the same thing..
Adventure is just part of our family 
I just want to put it out there how proud I am of you.
Safe is not living.  Stuff happens anyway.
Your daddy would be so over the moon to see you now.

Tonight I am without the children.
I did not waste my time.
I did not cry.
I am pensive and mostly happy.
