B and E are off to camping adventures in New Hampster.  That means A, I, the katz and fish are left to our own devices.   Let the wild rumpus start!

It was raining this morning, such a perfect Monday morning to stay under the covers with the purr balls keeping me company.  Instead D and I met at o’light:30 and put in our hour on the golf course.  We’ve been so faithful of late, and are enjoying our committment to one another and ourselves.  I had haircut #2 today.  My friend and hair cutter (and woman-in-the-know) told me that the last time I was there (for my first cut post chemo), the others who were there said something after I left about wishing they were brave enough to cut their hair as short as mine was.  “Oh, if they only knew!” she said, knowing very well what it feels like to have renewed faith in hair folicles.  I swear, not a day goes by without a comment.  SOOOOO, here are some pics of the curly locks.

As you have probably noticed, I’m not much for showing myself here, but it really isn’t fair to keep the hairy details from such faithful readers.  One thing I love about the instant gratification of digital photography is how willing teenagers are to hang out in front of the camera and how goofy we can get without trying.   

You may recall that this story started about a year ago while B was in Alaska.  We all are heading out there at the end of July.  There’s something right about this timing for me and us.  No it’s not a beachy vacation that some 16 year olds dream about, but there will be beach.  There will be fishing in the deep pacific waters.  There will be hiking and connecting with friends.  There will be a nice ferry ride from Haines to Juneau with wild life and glaciers.  There will be puddle jump plane flights from Juneau to Haines, and Juneau to Sitka.  We are all pretty stoked about this.  There will be lots of day light to see our way into a new year.

When it is just A and I, it doesn’t seem to take very long to get into our rhythm.  There is affection each day, conversation and snuggling, music and quiet.  I am ever grateful for her presence in my life, and for the boys for getting out of our hair so that we can be girls together without interference from the Y chromosomes.
