So... we came home and pulled out a jigsaw puzzle. It's a Christmas one, and it's going to be very pretty. But it has 1000 pieces, and it's a little harder than it looks. Love the bright colors. We did not get it done. But it's been two months since I worked on a puzzle!
But the main reason Cathy and I were together is that we went to White Cloud to hear another North Country Trail hiker give a talk. This is Nancy DeJong, and she has hiked all of Michigan, a little piece in every state, and is more or less working on Wisconsin. (She says she doesn't have blue blaze fever... right.)
I've known Nancy for quite a few years because of trail stuff, and it was nice to hear her "take" on hiking the trail. Very fun morning.
As for almost July... well, it is. And I am heading east in July. The book has to be very close to ready to go to the printer in one week. If I have to do a few final tweaks on the road it's OK, but I have to buckle down and really make progress.
Today was a rest and play day to give me enough motivation and guilt to work hard all week.

Chaplin: "That puzzle looks like a lot of fun. If you need help with it, just let me know."
ReplyDeleteLulu: "And by help you mean ... ?"
Chaplin: "Somebody to jump up there and scatter all the pieces so they can start over."
Lulu: "Oh of course."
Chaplin- we may not need your services. Cathy's grandkids are coming soon and I think we'll have to start over next time we see this one.
