First of all, it's hard to get back from vacation. I'm certainly back in body, but my mind doesn't seem to be completely cooperating. This could take a while.
Second, a friend sent me a great hilarious column from the NY Times,
Dick Cavett commenting on depression (ick) and socks (funny) and also (I do not lie) on finding humor "there" as well as can be expected. I love the idea of a depressed person somehow pulling his socks up and just getting over it all -- boy, I wish that had worked for me. Sure be cheaper than doctors and drugs (and phone bills to friends, the poor patient wonderful friends).
I don't think I have a photo of a depressed person pulling her socks up to post, but I do have a great picture of my daughter with her outrageous socks pulled all the way up -- definitely not depressed. She's still in Montana and I miss her a lot a lot. So, here's her picture. (You have to look closely to see the socks. She's sitting on a dead tree stump in the middle of a geyser crater in Yellowstone Nat'l Park. I don't know why she hikes in knee socks. What a great gal.) If you click on the photo you can see a close up of her beautiful face and socks.
Stella spent 14 days in Montana on a great Outward Bound adventure. She took lots of gorgeous photos, even one of her laundry drying on a boulder, which just goes to show how much she loves her mother.

In Livingston Montana I spotted this laundromat, Off the Cuff. There are many many many of these wonderful homespun laundrys in all these smaller towns. I saw one somewhere else (Wyoming?) called The Missing Sock. I wish I'd started taking photos of them sooner. Still on vacation but home again this weekend.
Bye for now -- a funny thing about vacations -- I still do as much laundry when I'm away from home as I do all the time -- I need less soap in Tahoe (softer water) -- wonder what the water is like in Montana. (Montana Ghost Towns Photography)
You will not believe this (whoever you are) -- my favorite knitting store, Jimmy Beans Wool -- in Truckee -- has a whole collection of knitting YouTube videos! OMG they are spectacular -- colorful, friendly, funny, heartwarming and footwarming and lapwarming, too! Check them out. They also have a great blog. Link below in my "We Blog Alike" list.
National Geographic's recent issue had this great photo of two girls taking off their coats and letting them fly into the oncoming storm -- I located the photo on their website, but I'm sure I'm not sure I'm supposed to post it here -- so go to National Geographic and look at all their terrific stuff!!
