Just noticed I could cross two items off my wishlist— I toured the Yuengling Factory in Pottsville and I got hardwood floors in my parlor and dining room. Yeah, these things were accomplished awhile ago but I plum forgot to cross them off the list.
Thinking about it, I do think I need to go through and update the list. There’s certain things that are missing… things that I am aiming for currently that weren’t in my thoughts when I first compiled the list. Gosh has my life changed since I made up that list.
Yesterday was the Newtown Original Brewfest. I went with Lisa and her friend Christina and we met up with my two favorite German teachers. One had been my German teacher back in 1989. The other is the older brother of an old schoolmate of mine. I also met a Colombian man named Julian. I do love beerfests. I love how it starts off all stuffy yet by the end, everyone is hugging each other, taking insane pictures and dancing in that inimitable, white, drunk way.
I am trying to enjoy October. It’s my favorite month and yet it just screams past me. That might be why I agreed to go for a ride in an ex’s convertible and walk with him in Tyler. No worries people… it wasn’t PB. PB has seemingly ceased to exist. The only thing that remains is an occasional impersonal email about upcoming technology workshops and the odd Facebook status message. Gosh has my life changed.
The nice thing is I’ve started speaking German again. Horribly.
It sounds like you’re having an awesome week, Donna! Work hard then play hard. I’m trying to enjoy the season too. There is so much awesome stuff going on with Oktoberfests, the farmers markets and parks, Halloween parties. I know all the holidays will not be the same this year or from here on out for your family, but don’t work too hard. Experience the time and give yourself permission to feel the ups and the downs and accept them in the moment.
Gott sei dank hast Du deutsch nicht vergessen! 😉
