The colours were changing so rapidly

Oh Jenny, this is so lovely. How happy I am that you are with your daughter right now!

Heh, I know you love droplets on anything so of course I figured you would love the purple bud with droplets...they are just delicious, aren't they?! :) And I had no idea that I was also capturing its immortality so soon before it would be mowed down. A pity...really. But ah-well, now it lives forever for us to enjoy and revere! :)

Your suggestions for booking our adventures are exactly what we are/will be doing! :D It's funny, Jenny. We MUST do this little step by little step because at the same time as we're having our adventures, we're learning how to solve our relationship issues. We are learning about ourselves and understanding who and how we are contributing to the explosions that happen between us. We're learning to modify how we behave and it's one of those things that you can't just say, "YAY! WE SOLVED IT!" and then just forget about it. The suckers come back if not tended because they were inset for so long. It's very humbling to study my own behavior and recognize how I've inflamed issues without recognizing it...how I've created issues, how I've behaved inappropriately, how I've wrongly accused Steve of being more to blame down the line...and yet, we're both at fault. Living in such close quarters forces resolution. NOT EASY but it's very good.

That and all the rest, too...it's sometimes overwhelming but we're doing it! :)

Need to get Pumpkin to the vet to begin paperwork for her Pet Passport so we can bring her into Canada on our next trip after this!!! :)

*BIG HUGS TO YOU MY DEAR*!!!
