Shakesthegrounds Rumblings

I look forward to 2009, when we might once again bask in the Alberta sun, watch the moon grow fuller and fuller as the nights progress. We talked about camping out in the Kananaskis area, far from the tourists of Canmore and Banff. Should be nice, and it will be here before you know it. Like Lynne pointed out you can spend 5 minutes at work and it lasts for ever, but 5 minutes among brokies is like the blink of an eye.

So we went back to the room, put on our pajamas, had our slumber party. Talked with Janice and RouxB and Lynne's mother, who is having a birthday today. Shared some laughs and caught up on what was going on inside and outside out heads. I think I drifted off before she did, she being on west coast time and all.

Then about 4 am I had to get up and the room was filled with this glow. It was coming from behind a wing backed chair, and habbling around it I saw it was Lynne's laptop running her slide show of photos. She had told me recently about waking up to me and Adrain smiling at her. And there we were.

I stood there and watched the cascade of images, shiney happy people asleap in beds the world over. There was Juan and Lynne dancing at Ranchman's, Eric and Chuck, their plaid shirts morphing into one another, me and Paul, Rich and Karen, Amanda and Lynne, Wulf and Lynne, Rodney and Vermont, Lee and Adam. There was Boston, there was Wyoming, There was Rockyford, like a never ending loop of happiness. Us at our best. I stood and watched it a second time. What a ride this has been. What we have accomplished just by the times we have managed to get together.

We are lucky, oh so lucky.

I love you Lynne.

Thanks for the phone call, Truman!  It brightened my day after many hours of rehearsing in the State Theater basement (where no cellphone signal has gone before!). 

Big hugs to you, Lynne, Bob, Lauren and Joe!

I'm so glad you got to get together and talk Brokish.  Did y'all ever hear from Dee Dee? 

Always good to leave you messages, Meryl!  Figured you were busy with work or fun or something.  I did not ever hear back from Dee Dee - thanks for the reminder.  I'll try her again today on my lunchbreak!

So we went back to the room, put on our pajamas, had our slumber party...

We are lucky, oh so lucky.

I love you Lynne.

We are, indeed.  And you know I love you too.

HOWEVER, that does NOT mean you don't have to post the pictures of you in your PJ's - both the calendar shot and what I'm going to call the "Roland" perspective!    .  Here or in the calendar, thread, your choice, bud!
 

Edt:  I'm really glad you got to see the screensaver - I was dead to the world, didn't hear a thing, but I'm happy you now know what I keep gushing about.  So much love and companionship there.  Leslie in the Boston pics greeted me when I got back to the room tonight!
