Slowly but surely getting recentered. Part of the whirlwind is the decision to make trip to southern France for our 50 anniversary. When my younger sister heard she asked for her and her husband to tag along on the trip. The agent was able to locate rooms and we fly out on July 1. I usually spend much longer making plans for trips other than when visiting relatives. Next trip will include Scotland, Ireland and a little England. namaste janice xx
Hari OM Oh my - how exciting!!! These are the things which keep us looking to the positive. Crikey if it wasn't for the this darned roof repair bizzo, I'd be plotting a way to come meet up with you... but will wait patiently for the Scotland visit!!! Yxx
Lovely haiku, Janice. That is so exciting!! 50 years and what a romantic place to celebrate! The only trip I ever made was England, Scotland and Wales overseas...I want to go to Ireland some day to visit my great grandfather's home. Soon...I feel it in my bones:) xx
Carpe Diem Weekend Meditation #38 A Trip Along Memory Lane #1 Carpe Diem Special How happy! Bathing in the tub full to overflowing The above one line poem by Sumitaku Kenshin (1961-1987) really sent me down memory lane. Until I was a teenager my family lived on a farm. The year Sumitaku Kenshin was born, my family moved "in town". That move brought us into a new age, indoor plumbing. Until that time there was a galvanized tub for baths and a path for other bodily necessities. Baths were taken on the screened in back porch during the summer months. There would be 3 to 4 inches of water in the tub. Water drawn from the well just outside the house. Some of the water would be heated in the teakettle on the stove in the kitchen. Youngest child would bath first. Then up through the ages of the children. Daddy was always the last. In the same 3 to 4 inches of water. Once baths were done, the tub was overturned and the porch scrubbed. Cause water was is
