6/11/09 Btown

I got up in time to shower and get things done.  

Luke couldn't go to Btown with me.  He had to work.  So I took off.  I talked to MKate for a while.  She's redoing her house with Kris and Dana helping her.  So cool.  They are artists and creating a new look to her home.  

It was sunny and nice driving up.  I picked up Xavier at camp.  He looked tired.  I had to drag his car seat to the car. (Don't ask)  Xavier helped me.  Neither of us were up for getting this car seat which is heavy to the car.  Finally X got the idea to put the seat on his head and I kind of led him.  So we got to the car.  Then we  had to figure out how to put the car seat in place.  We tried various ways.  I called Rain.  It was hard for her to discribe.  She said,  maybe someone will come along to help.  That's when I saw X's old teacher.  She came over and helped us easily.  I was so grateful.  I told X that God sends helpers when you need them.  God sends helper when you need them-- a subject for meditation.

We drove to Boarders.  I was excited that I found it so easily.  We went inside to look for X's Magic Tree House books.  The bookstore has a place where we could sit and sift through books and have fun.  

We met the rest of the family at Lenny's for dinner.  The rain storm with loud thunder kept Violet and Rain awake last night. .  Everyone was tired and off.  Still we are family and being together felt nice.  I shared my healthy diet pills with Ry.  So we felt o.k. to eat a few fries.  The fries at Lenny's are the best--soft inside ,  crispy outside.  A good and simple meal.  I had a taco salad with turkey and dressing on the side,  a few fries and some of Violet's pasta.   

The ride home was a challenge.  It started raining as I walked out the restaurant door.  The drops were small and scattered.  However when I got on rte 37 (like a highway now) the heavy rain began for real .  I was grateful for day light.  In the dark,  I think I would have had to stop.  Some cars stopped anyway.  I mean heavy,  heavy rain.  At times I had to pray because I couldn't see 3 inches in front of me.  I was listening to the Secret.  I had to stop for gas.  I postulated that the rain would begin to lift when I got back on the highway.  I felt the flow.  What can I say.  "The force, " has been with me lately.  

When I got back on the highway,  the rain lightened.  I spoke to MKate for awhile.  No worries.  Up ahead I saw blue sky and white clouds.  Yes.  Just as I pictured,  and prayed,  the rain stopped.  I got on 465 and drove all the rest of the way home in clear mystic looking weather.  The sun was behind me and it lighted up buildings and trees and cars with a golden glow.  

It feels amazing to be in the flow.
