its a done deal now and back home after nearly 7 weeks on the road.  cut our road trip short by a couple of weeks, were missing people, missing home, missing the horses and dog, and missing this old front porch, lol.  we did put in quite a few thousand miles and saw so much of this country.  i highly recommend a road trip.  spacious skies and purple mountain majesties have a whole new meaning for me now.

we met someone id first met online like 7 or 8 years ago, had always had plans to meet, but never did for one reason or another.  she is like drop dead beautiful, and was always so nice to me, made me feel special at a time when i really needed that.  and she was, in person, every bit the angel i had come to know online.  of course, things we had talked about doing so many years ago cannot happen now, lol, but i was allowed a hug which was amazing.  we stayed with her for 4 days up in wyoming.  really no excuse for not having met before, and now she is coming to see us next spring for a week.  if you have an online friend that you have known for awhile, i think it best to figure out a way to close the distance.

my face hurts from smiling.  lol.  dunno why but things are different now, in a better way though.  its strange, all my adult life i have always wondered how you knew someone was the right one.  always perplexed me.  i still dont know the answer.  what i do know is you will know when it happens.  just somehow.

now it is back to work, back to the routine and seeing how many of our plans we can make come true.  and planning for the next road trip, lol.

happy sunday yall.
