Dear Life, I woke, shuffled into the kitchen, pushed the coffee pot button, and thought, “Where’s Tracy?” After 10 days of companionship, I miss the energizer-bunny greeting me with a big smile each morning. Good-natured, bright light, super smart, easy to be with, adventurous, fun, and beautiful. All this and more. I am deeply grateful for every minute we shared. Thank you.

Dear Life, Tracy and I had a wonderful road trip to Jemez Mineral Springs and Los Alamos on Thursday. The weather was perfect and the soaking pools healing. We traveled a loop of breathtaking scenic areas. Last night we ate an early dinner then walked around the plaza. I walked out of Overland Sheepskin Company wearing a beautiful Alpaca reversible coat and Tracy with warm colorful Alpaca socks. Thank you, Rosie, for the gifts! You will be thought of each time your daughter and grand-daughter wear their Alpaca. Laughter lifted into the star-filled night as we scrubbed the seats of my car after an ice cream spill. A very special visit filled with love.

Dear Life, On Tuesday, we had a most fulfilling day driving the High Road to introduce my daughter to dear friends. My heart is fill with joy to see their smiles and delight in our conversations. Today Tracy and I are taking a road trip to Jemez Springs to sit in the healing mineral pools. The landscape is dotted with historical sites and ruins, geographical outcroppings, mountains, mesas, meadows, and streams. Another world and a new adventure awaits.

Dear Life, The excitement and activity of Tracy’s visit overwhelmed my body. Yesterday, I needed many hours of sleep. Woke feeling refreshed. I’ll go to the studio this morning while Tracy works remotely. This afternoon we will drive the High Road to visit friends in Nambe and Truchas. The pleasure of having dear ones meet fills my heart with joy. This time of year is beautiful with the clear light and changing colors of autumn. I am grateful for the new experiences of life and love each moment.
