Momma's weekend


One day, when we were crossing a crosswalk downtown, an automated voice said that it was safe to cross the street. As we imitated that voice and changed our voices, it would crack Cashew up!

Last week, I had a chance to enjoy a few days on the island while attending a training course. I kept Golddustgirl company and we did some exploring - what a beautiful place our state is. It was neat to see the Scandanavian influence on the island. Being over there really felt like we were in a different country. Compared to the city, it seemed quite unpopulated and peaceful. So much water and beautiful scenery. We visited the Chief's grave, enjoyed some great fish 'n chips, and even enjoyed some local music at an outdoor stage. We went through some tribal lands, walked around and found a beach with tons of fishheads! Overall, it was very restful and just a nice break from the busy life at home. Spidey did a great job taking care of Cashew. But, it was strange being away from her for so many nights. I felt like I had so much time - but Golddustgirl helped me to pass the time away by catching me up on 'Big Brother' and 'So you think you can dance'! :)
