I'm sitting at my computer and looking out the window at 4" of new snow today, with more to come! Josie and I are packing up to go meet Tim in Alaska. He left on Saturday with some buddies and they are steelhead and hopefully halibut fishing. My deep freeze is out of fish, so I hope they're successful with the halibut, especially! Josie and I leave tomorrow, Wednesday, morning and are in for a 12-hour trip. I just loaded up on 50% off Easter goodies at Target, like an egg-shaped travel Aquadoodle, little Play-Doh eggs, Dum-Dums, etc., to keep us busy. ((( Speaking of Target, I'm going to go off on a tangent and post this link to a BEAUTIFUL modern peony bed set by Isaac Mizrahi. Wouldn't that look wonderful in a little girl's bedroom??? )))

Josie and I drifted down to Miles City, MT, for the Easter weekend to see my family. We ended up following one of my good friend's husband over there - he and some buddies were going turkey hunting in the plains. She had her first weekend of HuntingWidowdom this year. She's also pregnant and a month out from having their new little bean. It's amazing how adding a little one to the family changes the dynamic of the hunter and the hunting widow, at least for my husband and me. Before we had Josie, I was able to do my own thing, which I liked doing very much! Adding a daughter definitely added stress to the hunting situation. I wish now I had handled it better, but we made it through all right. I couldn't help but get down and resentful every now and then that HE got to go do what he wanted to, but I was tied to the schedule of my baby. I'm so very glad that I have good friends to help me put situations in perspective, and a generous and caring husband to keep me grounded. I'm just going to blame it on all those crazy hormones :-)!!!
