maybe (I wonder) if I posted once a month that would be enough (or something).
And in July, this post would be an update of the past few months.
So… to recap
In MAY,
I fitted out my garage studio, hemmed 6 ready made drapery panels in my bedroom
(and learned it's probably just as easy to make them from scratch)

built a table from pipes,
then
flew to Macon, Georgia
to meet my Love and the newest member of our extended family,
Ruby
and expand my historical reference
by visiting Warm Springs
and then HERE
for some of these.
After that I headed on to another week in Michigan to play
with three little butterflies, who are well into their 8th year.
Then I flew home for a chilly Memorial Day & a girlfriend weekend at one of my all time favorite places in the world…
The Mabel Dodge Luhan House & Taos, New Mexico
In June,
I painted some walls &
turned these

turned these
into these
hung a few more light fixtures
and then flew To meet my Guy in Cody, Wyoming before we stepped into the
Never Never Land of Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone is where I began my life as I know it today almost 6 years ago to the month.
This time, which was my fourth visit to this amazing place, had me touch and see almost every magnificent site in the park, before heading on to
Grand Teton National Park
Jackson, Wyoming
which was quite civilized & one of our favorite stops…
and Ketchum, Idaho
and Sun Valley, where we watched Olympic skaters practice their spins...
visited Ernest Hemmingway's Memorial and grave...
and dipped our toes in a mountain lake….
before we headed to...
and Moab, Utah, Arches & Canyon Lands National Parks,
and then Shiprock, New Mexico the sacred Navajo birthplace,
and the Salmon Ruins,
before heading home to Albuquerque.
July
has me regrouping before heading out on another three week cross country driving trip back to Michigan to visit with friends and family with a return trek through the center of Colorado before we land back in our own beds in August.

After all this busy-ness and travel, I'm home today, still unpacking my former life into this little house, asking myself one question.
Am I still the person I used to be?

Release, release, release.
