Christmas...
Dec. 25th, 2002 03:48 pmA long weekend, I extended mine, a lonely time, missed my Dad. I spent a lot of time reliving old memories with my Mom, learning things about my Dad I never knew.
We spent time doing things she loved, took a mini road trip to satisfy our gypsy spirit, went from Anza, through the snow and winter of Idyllwild, then to the desert of Whitewater pass, then past Windy Point, Palm Springs was at its best on Palm Canyon Drive, the restaurants, the shops, the galleries, on to the other cities that line State Route 111, on to Palm Desert, then up the hill on Highway 74, up into the mountains, into the snow again, such contrast, and returned home. It was a good day.
Spent the rest of the time playing with the dogs, doing repairs and weatherproofing.
Got one thing major accomplished, got my Mom to talk to my Sister. It was cordial, and the ice is now broken. Maybe we can reestablish a relationship.
