*Dinner prepared by all of my favorite boys (featuring the Volcano Salad, by Chef Miles)
*Handcrafted tablescape, complete with water feature and scuba diving scene
*Seat of honor
*Ticket to Ride (and the ‘mother’lode win by this mama)
*Annual Mother’s Day weekend overnighter with my BFFLs (and my new band, Crystal Fringe and the Puff Ponies.)
(So Robo Chic!)
I knew it would happen. I just didn’t know when, and sometimes the elusive when can really mess with one’s mental health.
But when the when comes, the waiting for when is made very, very worth it, though my own personal when looked very different than I had imagined it would for the last eight years…
It looked like me, at a ‘troubled youth’ conference up a snowy canyon, under lovely, gray skies.
It looked like me, being inundated with information regarding trauma-based care….
It looked like me, checking my email after every session, and keeping my ear tuned to my text chime…
BECAUSE
On this day--this May 8th day-- my dreams were coming true via my inbox. Via a text from my agent. Via the MAGICAL number 8.
And that is how dreams come true on a dreamy day in a dreamy way.
Thank you, Ma6 8th and MAGIC 8, Georgia McBride and Swoon Romance, for making me an author!
So…maybe we can’t take our friends across the real Europe on a train to make their 40th birthday dreams come true. Maybe we can’t even take them across America via train.
BUT!
We CAN take them through Europe by way of Salt Lake City and Frontrunner!
Don’t believe me?
Here we are at the train station, headed across ‘Europe’. First stop….
Stonehenge!
Followed by a quick ride on the Chunnel to Paris and a visit to The Louvre
We make an ever-so-short short stop in Holland….
before hitting Spain.
Greece is up next. OPA!
And onward to Italy before heading home!
Oh, and….happy birthday, Jenney!
