I love learning new things. Last month, I started a six week online course with IAP Career College to pass the time while my foot heals. Today, I am proud to include the title of Book Editor to my list of accomplishments.
This worked out well, as the weather wasn’t cooperating and I couldn’t go outside and walk anyway. Mother nature thought it was funny to prolong winter with snow, hail, and rain all throughout the month of April. Now the sun is out, the temperatures are rising, and I can finally enjoy my happy moments on the front porch with a morning cup of coffee and write my stories.
Tuco has been a real trooper, too. He had free run of the house, both inside and out, while his mom did her studies. But he chose to stay close to me, in my office, and kept me company. He seemed to know that “schooling” was a very important thing.
Isn’t it funny how time passes, or the lack of? I mean, sometimes when antisapating the beginning or end of something, it’s always too slow or too fast. Maybe it’s just frozen in time, neither fast nor slow but just, stuck. The online course seemed to pass quickly. I finished in five weeks. The healing of my foot seems like it’s been two years and not two months. I’m frustrated and anxious for it to be like new again. Now, I’m told the whole process could take twelve to eighteen months to heal properly. What did I get myself into? They say, “all good things come to those who wait.” I’d like to know who “they” are. I don’t know how much longer I can wait and still keep my sanity…
The motorhome was uncovered and cleaned up this weekend, along with the RZR. It’s time to take Skip Thomas Adventures on the road again and sell some books. We have a trip planned in three weeks and Tuco is excited to go. He loves riding in the side-by-side with his Pop, too. This will be his second traveling adventure since we got him. We are more prepared this time to take him along and know exactly what to bring for him. Now we know what it’s like traveling with kids! He’s spoiled.
I am a day late in publishing this newsletter, but that’s ok. My flowers decided to bloom all of a sudden and now I can share those with you as well. I hope you all have a beautiful month ahead. And as always, stay safe, be kind, and be happy.
God bless,
Skip’s mom, Cb

Pop, do I have to wear these?
Spring finally made it.
