When I walked by Addi putting grip tape on his deck, it just flooded my mind of years of watching them work on their boards.

He also asked for a candle, (for the wax), and it made me think of all the ones they'd taken from my mom's living room and rubbed down into little nubs.

Tara sells essential oils, and I try to support the classes she hosts when I can. Bri and Cassie agreed to join me one recent Monday evening, even though the class would be up over Pine Mountain.

Leave it to me to drive half an hour past the actual location to a random senior center. It was after we tried both entrances, which were locked, that I realized my mistake. 

I think all of us were car sick by that point, but we had no choice but to wind our way back.

When we finally got to the class, we sat down as Tara was saying, "So, that's it. Any questions?" 🤣 But she was nice enough to show us what we'd missed. 

A bunch of blue

Bri joined me at the jail for the first time, so afterward we went next door for Blizzards
