I'm still trying to decide if it is really worth leaving home. But maybe. The pace is slower. There are no time limitations. A wrong turn is a wrong turn not a catastrophe. There is time to relax and not "have to" be or do. I like that. I could get used to the drifting along in time just picking up and doing what catches my fancy and being whatever I feel like being.
This is what time outs are for. To rediscover what it feels like to drift in time. To not have to make decisions in a time frame. To not even have a time frame. I guess I should do this a little more often.
While away we received pictured of my young gand nieces on their first day of school. They look so precious I wanted to share them with the world. And I almost did. Then I thought better of it. There are a lot of bad people out there and I just didn't want to take the chance of exposing these two darlings to any of it. Isn't that a sad comment on life as we live it today.
On a brighter note we found a place to board Gabriel while we see the Monet exhibit tomorrow. It is so wonderful to find helpful people who are willing to go out of their way to accomodate a request. This is a joyful comment on life as we live it today.
We toured the back roads of Berkshire County for most of the day. It is very similar to our part of Connecticut with the addition of the background of the mountains. It is relaxing and actually soothing. I found that when we stopped at the Shaker Museum, I really did not want to trample the way through the dust and in the sun so we opted for the gift shop and went on our way to tour the back roads some more.
