E is for Elephants.

Realizing a dream can be as unlikely as seeing a flying elephant.
https://www.brigantesenglishwalks.com/t3zj9zmvq9l Once upon a time, I used to ignore the elephant in the living room. Eventually I accepted the elephant, figured out what needed to be done about its occupancy, and I did the work.
Now I go in search of flying elephants.
Purchasing Tramadol And, once in a while, I find one!

There is a certain freedom that comes with spreading your wings and taking flight.
https://guelph-real-estate.ca/qgjid56x21l Whether that flight is to a new country, a new home, or a new idea, embarking on a new beginning has a freeing quality. One can never leave the past entirely, but dragging it all along makes for slow travel. Leaving the baggage behind makes it easier to let “the winds carry you.”

I grew up in a house filled with grandmothers.
go site Or so it seemed to me. There were two grandmothers – a grandmother and a great-grandmother.
Tramadol Cheap Online I do not remember playing with either of my grandmothers.
But I do remember being unconditionally accepted, appreciated, and deeply loved by them.
https://www.yolascafe.com/1f0k1hi I remember learning to be of help. If my grandmother was sewing – she was a seamstress, a business woman, a solopreneur in the middle of the last century – I was given the job of sorting thread by color or winding yarn or finding a dropped needle. If my great-grandmother was making noodles, I cracked eggs and kneaded dough. My grandmothers usually included me as they went about their work.
https://geolatinas.org/51naioqv9c4 One of my earlier memories was after dinner, when the family gathered to relax and read the daily newspaper. I always impatiently waited as they slowly read each page, every column, every want ad. Then they discussed the news in detail. But once my grandparents finished with the paper, they would call me.

https://www.marineetstamp.com/y5aclob “Yes,” I’d eagerly reply. ” A ‘P'”.
https://lpgventures.com/agkpdwfe3va Then I was given a colored pencil and told to circle as many ‘P’s’ as I could find in five minutes. When the timer buzzed, we’d count the circles together, and I would proudly write the number on the kitchen wall calendar. No pressure, no goals, just a loving, learning practice.
Routines, rituals, traditions. Another way to express love.

It is my hope that I offer my granddaughter a fraction of the gifts my grandmothers gave me.

H is for Highways.

Rx Tramadol Online Desert Highway © 2013 Bo Mackison
Nothing heightens my anticipation and excitement more than a road trip.
source link I love following highways, especially the kind that zig around mountains, pass through open spaces – desert, prairie, grasslands. This year I discovered that I love driving the open road, solo. Stop wherever I want, photograph whatever and whenever for as long as the subject holds my attention, take a detour just to see what is beyond that next rise in the road.
Traveling cross-country from the Southwest to the Midwest this past spring was ten days of delight.
Only once did I question my sanity — when driving on a 12,000 foot peak in Colorado, negotiating hairpin turns with no reassuring guard rails. It was the first spring snow melt which scattered mini-avalanches of snow and tumbled rock on the road. But even that turned into quite the adventure. Once I descended the celestial roads, I knew I’d negotiated those roads with care and good sense, and conquered my fear of mountain driving on the outside lane.
I took my time, pulled off at the designated places for plenty of calming and rest, took a few photographs, had a snack and a drink. I gave plenty of space to the passing timber trucks, whose drivers had much more experience on these roads than I did (or so I hoped), and I planned my route so I was settled in a town by evening.
I acknowledged my limitations, and appreciated the skills I possessed.
