I loved Columbus, I loved being at the TNNA trade show, I loved being with Rae and her mom and other friends of hers and mine. I loved it all.

I was relieved, however, to read that Kristin Nicholas opted to stay home from TNNA and the Book show where Deb Robson and Stephanie Pearl-McPhee went. She says it takes her a week to catch up from being gone a 3 day weekend. I totally understand that thought.

I’ve been to Dallas, New York City, Toronto and Columbus since mid-April. I loved every trip and every city. I am SO ready to stay home a while, though. And we’re heading into summer music festival season so this may not work as well as I would like. Another high-class problem!

Today I had much catching up to do. I went to two yarn shops, two restaurants, two post offices and cooked three meals (two are still cooking in the crockpots overnight). I also attacked the rosebushes again, which did attack back and I am pretty sure the roses are winning. Another SEVEN paper grocery bags full of old rosebush pieces, most of which were totally dry and not green or budding at all. On top of the seven I did before, on top of the bits Brian did before.

Monday night I fell asleep on the couch with an un-tasted cup of green tea beside me, before 11pm. I usually sleep at 2am or so, therefore you know I was wiped out. Today I got up before 9am but I ended up taking a nap around noon for half an hour, in the midst of all the things I listed above and more. I filled my day completely.

Tomorrow I have as many as four appointments. It could be quite busy. Off to bed. This photo is one view of Columbus, Ohio from our hotel room, 4th floor Red Roof Inn.
