How I did it: I swung at the ball on every hole and I eventually got a decent drive so now I am better than when I sucked on every swing, but I still care nothing about the thing. Read how I did it…
How I did it: picked a design that made me think of my wife from a book received for Christmas modified it to something I felt confident making picked colors my wife likes sized the project for a beginner got a sewing lesson for Valentine's Day worked the steps Read how I did it…
How I did it: went to the poll pulled the lever thanked God that we didn't have tanks in the streets the next morning when it became clear we don't all agree Read how I did it…
that my spouse organized it for me while I was out in the mountains for four days? It was a nice surprise and now makes it easy for us to work on a new quilt together, but it doesn’t feel so much like I accomplished a goal.
The mountains are beautiful. I really don’t have time to leave the airport, but the huge wrap around windows give a nice view of the mountains and I saw the bay and some birds as we were landing. If there was more time, birding would definitely be on the agenda. So this makes 11 states—16 more to go. I catch a flight to Recife in an hour. Maybe there will be time for Joao Pessoa or Natal over the next few days.
Brasil just granted me a 5 year visa, which should make progress toward this goal more likely. I’ve already been to 10 states, leaving 17 to go. I’ve got a ticket this month for Rio, which will make it 11 states with 16 to go and the trip also includes Recife, where I’ve been before, but this time it seems to be with enough spare time that I might make it up to Joao Pessao or maybe even Natal while I am in the North East. Next time I go that way, I think I should try to connect through Fortaleza on Delta’s flight #90 to Atlanta on the way back.
