We are back from DC!
The last night there, we headed to Blues Alley to see James Cotton perform. We were right up front, so close to the action, blown away by the music, the band, everything about the night. Getting up at oh-dark-thirty to catch the morning flight home, of course, was another story. I hate coming back from east coast time ...
The Bug was happy to see us. And promptly, he pulled out a drawer, climbed up on the counter and sprayed something he shouldn't have into his eye. On my way over to save him, I stumbled and fell knee first into the corner of said drawer. After getting his eye rinsed out, I looked down and saw the bruised up, bloody mess of my knee. Good times, good times.
I started back with The Trainer yesterday, and I was in rough shape ... blisters on my feet and a jacked up right knee. He took it easy on me, then said, "You'll have to step it up next time!" and, appropriately, ducked.
And of course, my week wouldn't be my week without a repairman showing up for the third time to fix the same problem. This time, it's related to the microwave.
Also, I've given HDHusband a password to Blogger now. He will be posting comments and in all likelihood, I will regret having done so.

Love Thursday: Somewhere Over The Rainbow
"Why are there so many songs about rainbows
and what's on the other side?
Rainbows are visions, but only illusions,
and rainbows have nothing to hide.
So we've been told and some choose to believe it.
I know they're wrong, wait and see.
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.
The lovers, the dreamers and me ..."

I took this photo about a year after my dad died, so roughly, 1996. It's taken from the top of the hill where I grew up, looking east, into the pasture that is just behind our house.
The only thing missing from this photo would be the two horses that grazed there ... one a retired racehorse named Gent. And for a while, a cow named Lucy ( a story for another time).
And those trees? I'd stand out there with my walkman on, hand water them every weekend, watch a red fox that lived a few yards away, come in and out of its den. For awhile, we had a dog named Jasper that made friends with that fox. Jasper would watch the babies in the den while the momma fox headed out for food. It was great to watch.
And I could swear, in this picture, you can really see where the end of the rainbow really is. I remember taking this picture and puzzling that it seemed highly unlikely the pot of gold could really be a dirt road in a small town close to Kansas.
Maybe, after eleven years, I can believe it's true after all.
"The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain." ~ Dolly Parton
