It’s been fifty-five years since Marle and I were freshmen in high school wishing that time would speed up.  Our wish came true because it seems like we blinked  . . . and here we are –  back in Palm Springs turning 70 instead of 15.

 

 

 

Palm Canyon Drive looks different …

 

 

 

 

 

….. and so do we!

 

 

I want to write more about yesterday … but I have to post this draft right now if I want it to appear on May 9th, 2016.  Yesterday was most definitely the most interesting May 8th that we’ve known since 1960.  It was Mothers’ Day and although it didn’t go as we had planned – it was magical.  We came in from the pool at about 10 PM … and slept wonderfully after a perfect day.

Today didn’t go as planned either.  The first thing Marle noticed when she took her suitcase out to her car this morning was that my car wasn’t parked where she thought I had left it before we went downtown last night. Turns out that while we were sleeping so well … someone decided that they needed my car more than I do.

 

I’m not sure how it happened – or why – but it  the lesson seems to be the one that I think of as Session #2:  Mapping Your Direction and Dealing With Change.

So now, tomorrow will be about rental cars, insurance claims and deciding how we can pack everything differently for driving back to Brookings next week ….

 

……. to be continued ….

I’m still trying to wrap my brain around what happened on May 8 … and why.  It’s the “Why?” that always gets me in trouble.  For now I’ve just saved some random thoughts and I think I’ll just leave them here and move on …. at least for now …
