Wading through

I took a thousand more photos over the weekend. Don't know how I'll ever get through them all to determine what should be framed and displayed for my show in May. This is my sweet love checking out the view from Granite Island off the coast of Victor Harbour, South Australia. We spent Valentine's Day down there exploring, cuddling and smiling lots. The weather could have been better, but we still enjoyed the time away. The calm before the storm that is the next month and a half.

Can you tell I'm feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment? I had to take a break from sorting through photos and booking shows...just a moment to collect my thoughts. They are scattered and tattered, and strewn all over the room. I heard Martine mention something about what we're wearing for our wedding and I had to tell myself to breathe. At this rate the wedding guests are going to get an eyeful of birthday suit. Breathe...

We leave Australia in 8 days..........................................................................

Ok, so I just left this blog post to go help Martine with a box of old photo albums and video tapes. Yes, I said video tapes. Two hours later, I'm back. I've seen footage of Martine Locke singing from more than 20 years ago. Yes, I feel special. She was beautiful and amazingly talented, and nothing has changed. Actually everything has changed, but her talent and beauty remain, but both have only improved with age. I'm a lucky woman.

I can't believe it's almost time to go back to the states. I think we're both ready in a lot of ways. It will be nice to get back and get things organized for our wedding, and it will be nice to move into our house. For now it's back to treading water and wading through all the tasks at hand. I just wanted to take a moment to breathe. I just need to keep my head above the surface. One thing at a time...

Peace on ya.
