Today I took a day off from my garage meditation and did some golf meditation with my dad and two of my cousins-in-laws. The idea was great but it was 40 -- that is FORTY degrees Farenheit -- with lots of frigid arctic winds blowing and it was C-O-L-D !!! I had on four layers - sweat resistant long-sleeved shirt, cashmere sweater, wind breaker, and fleece - I was still cold. My 85 year old pop was even colder. It was brutal. We did 15 holes. I golfed with my mother's - possibly 40 year old woods and I mean heavy WOODS. Not my best game but priceless in regard to being out there with my pop, whacking away at the golf ball and his utter enjoyment of the entire expeirience. Although when we came home he said it was "Awful!!"
Keep in mind, I am a flower of the desert - not used to this type of weather.
Off to Costco to stock up on Costco deals - booze, olives, gigantic steaks, and yellow, red and orange peppers.
Spaghetti and meatballs for dinner followed by a brisk walk with my sister.
I even actually QUILTED a block of a quilt for the darling baby of my baby who is due in May. It was a challenging experience of my losing the needle and big stitches and little stitches and I must admit I swore - it is just not the meditation for me -- although perhaps it needs to be THE meditation for me. Anyway it is actual proof that I contributed to one of my mother's quilt masterpiecies. She has made a baby quilt for perhaps twenty babies - they are each a masterpiece that will be handed down in our family for many years. Each signed and dated by my mother - the quilter, made with love and good wishes and a few swear words by me. Although my mother, with her fading eyesight says the Blessed Mother helps her thread each needle....
Tomorrow - with luck and a little warmth I will begin the power washing of the garage followed by the the first coat of paint.
Sorry -no photos although I am taking lots of photos of my time here in Indiana. Perhaps I will figure out a way to get some photos on here before I head back to Arizona.
Peace and love :-)
