I started a letter to my daughters a few weeks ago when they asked me for advice on Life and Happiness. At this rate, I'll see them before the letter is finished. However, I will finish it. Who knows what kind of wisdom will come from our combined conversations?! I will post the letter here on my blog with the other family letters.
Pip and I drove down the coast on Saturday and went out on a Whale Watching adventure. It was exciting and disappointing at the same time. I had expected to see whales, which we did - one Blue Whale and two Humpbacks - but never got close enough for a good look see. We saw a lot of 'spouting' and some tail. The water was a bit choppy making for rougher waves, which makes it harder to see them. We never got to see how big they really were and no opportunity to see faces. No breaching. Still, it was a once in a life-time thing for us. Once was probably enough. Unless, of course, I could know for certain I'd get a good close-up look, then I'd be out there again so fast!! Both of us enjoyed the trip out onto the ocean since neither of us had ever been before. Took some pictures but haven't figured out how to get them from the camera to the computer. One I do, I'll post a few.
I have a lot to do before we can leave for our trip. One thing in particular; I have to finish a blanket I started nine months ago for one of my grand daughters. It was my first real quilt and I messed it up as only I can mess something up. I'm trying to save it now. Both luck AND skill have been slow in coming to me!!
