Olive and I are headed on a new adventure. She is a traveler, always has been. This is no different. She can lay in the back seat, on her back with her feet in the air, dreaming of so many things. I am not sure if it is the dear from the night before or if it is some new adventure, but, she loves to sleep in the car. Every once in a while I will see her paws and legs jiggle. I know she is in some sort of activity. Trouble no doubt. Funny dog.

I have driven through snow, bitter cold, sunshine, rain, wind and now sunshine. I always thought it was a Texas thing if you do not like the weather just wait a minute as it will change. Not so as it seems to fit everywhere I go! Summers are a bit more predictable. Of course hindsight is 20/20. I have thought of driving from coast to coast. Writing a blog as I go, taking Miss O with me. It would no doubt be a wild ride and some kind of adventure. What treasure, it must be small, would be fun to pick up in each little place I stopped? Not the usual shot glass - no it would have to be something so different! I might consider that this spring if I have not found a job and gotten back into the REAL WORLD...

Yes, I am thinking seriously of re-entering the real world. I love my mountains, but am longing a bit for the sophistication of the cities. I think I miss the food and varied foods the most. Give me a minute and I will be like the weather and change that statement...ha

What does a 50 something woman do at this stage of her life? I am trying to figure out what I can do. I am a teacher by education. I am a jack of all trades by life. I am an adventurer by passion...I am afraid that a desk job would be the undoing of me. Yet, the right desk job would maybe peak my adventuresome spirit? Which way to look - which way to sniff? I am just so unsure. I have put a couple of feelers out there, but, alass, trying to explain to someone, anyone, what I am looking for is almost a joke. Hi, I am a woman with lots of miles, but lots of experience. I love life, I can do anything and am not afraid to try anything. I have managed a home, I have managed a few businesses. Having owned my own companies for the past 20 years, I am obviously a self starter. No job is too big, no job is too demeaning. I have obviously done them all. I just need a shot. Now I don't know if that looks so hot on a resume! Haha

Lots of time to sift through these thoughts as I continue on this big adventure...more thoughts to come!
