In Dulles on my way back to Munich.. I had a week at home.. it was a busy wee.. but even so it felt like a vacation. I spent Monday through Friday alone in the house with the dogs.. Diane was down in Endicott  with her mom who’d needed a little daughterly help.. I spent the days woring hard, sittign with the dogs and running outside when weather allowed it. I had seeral ventures out.. a meeting,  a school visit, a tal for a local business group. Each felt liek a gift because it involved people from ‘here’ . I lived a . pretty simple life.. and very peaceful. DIane came back on friday and we had a wonderful weekend together. we hiked, ran, goofed around. I took the storm windows down which makes it now officially spring .   The  weather and sounds are much closer now with the windows down.

this short vacation really has me thinking.. i need more of these. ..

thinking  hard about that.now

noite all, note sam
