about visiting either of my sons is that they “get” my sense of humor. Well, most of the time. Hmmm. Maybe they wouldn’t agree with that. I don’t know why, but it is immensely reassuring to find this little item, (something I left behind on my first visit to Robin and Stephanie’s house almost 4 years ago) exactly where I left it!
(I gave all these tiny nuns away before I started using tiny toys as props in my photos. I haven’t found any since, but I am always on the look out!)

And I was right in the middle of a book….
Has anyone else ever seen this screen on their Kindle? I’m still trying to figure it out. http://www.kindle.com/support does not have a little section entitled “Your Kindle needs repair.”
Meanwhile, we had a very easy flight to Baltimore and we’re about to have a delicious dinner of Fettuccine with Mushrooms and Hazelnuts. I love visiting our kids!

We’re off on the 8:15 boat tomorrow morning to visit our son and daughter-in-law (I love saying that!) in Baltimore. We haven’t seen Robin and Stephanie since Christmas, and the last time we were at their house was last year in February. (Before they were married.) I can’t wait.
But getting ready involves packing, something I just hate to do. I feel like the “country mouse” going to visit the city. I’m sure won’t have the right things to wear. Or I’ll have too much to fit into my carry-on. Or I’ll wish I had brought different shoes. Blah, blah, blah. I know. Kind of shallow. These are not real problems. I just need to whine a little about my insecurity. As cities go, I feel a lot better packing to go to Baltimore than I do packing to go to New York! There. Whining done. Call off the “whaaaaambulance.”
How is dyslexia related to packing you ask?
One of the things I like to do before going away is to clean up the clutter I’ve left around the house. This means circling through the downstairs of our house (many times) putting things on the stairs to carry up to my studio. Eventually it all gets done and I am ready to leave in the morning, and super happy to come home to a clean house when we get back.
As I stacked some jars of Pardo clay on the stairs, in the dark hallway, here is what I noticed:
I had unwittingly ordered a jar of luminescent clay, while thinking I needed to order translucent clay. It happens whenever I can’t remember a word. If I think it starts with an “L”, most likely the “L” is in the middle of the word; and vice versa. I had no intention of ordering clay that glowed in the dark, and I didn’t realize I had done it…until I was packing today. Surprise!
