Sue and I are so used to being with each other that it seems off when we aren't even if it will not be much longer than a day. It's not that we are always or even often in the same room. She does a lot in her room, and I do a lot in mine, but we are always in proximity.
Thank goodness they have good traveling weather; it is sunny enough, and the roads should be clear. Still, I worry a little with my 3 generations of women being in the same car.
That reminds me of a time when a somewhat different 3 generations were in the same car, and there was some trouble. I was driving one car, while Sue, Baby Shauna, and my mother were following me. We were driving 2 cars because my mother was going to stay at our destination while the 3 of us would return home in our car.
After awhile, I noticed that they were not behind me. I drove on, but they didn't appear, so I pulled over. And waited. And waited. Has something happened to the 3 generations? What should I do? Should I turn back?
In a while, they showed up, and in point of fact, something had occurred. They had had a blowout. I can't remember the details, but I think some kind fellow helped them change the tire. Thankfully, all were fine. I trust that the same will be said today. Meanwhile, I await somewhat apprehensively for the next 6-8 hours.
Meanwhile, back at the homestead, I did slip out to see if I might find some photos to take. It was my second short photo outing of the day, but the first yielded nothing.
This time, I went downtown, by townhall where the river runs past. I was hoping for good sunset light of the building, but it only so-so. And even though it wasn't much past 4, the sun was almost down behind a line of trees. Crazy, eh?
But despite how low the sun was, it did catch the old mill just beyond townhall. The result was acceptable.
It was cold, and the sun was almost gone, so I didn't dawdle. I few quick snaps without bothering with the tripod, and I was done, but it was good to get something.
Great shot of the mill. I love when the sun highlights things--telling us it's time to grab the camera. Safe travels to your women!
ReplyDeleteThat's a nice picture of the old mill. I hope that by now they've arrived safely and given you a call. It's funny how niggling worries like that can snag in your mind like a burr.
ReplyDeleteI like both of those. The sprinkle of snow really adds it.
ReplyDeleteLet us know that family safely returns.
Such great colors in these photos! Why did you decide to stay home? I hope you know by now that all is well.
ReplyDeleteI like the shots a lot. G is on the other side of the room, and he is driving me up to the top of the point for a shot or two. Yours are lovely. If mine can be near as good, I will be happy.
ReplyDeleteYou call it "acceptable" … I'd say amazing. As always I love the artistic way you frame your pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have the cleanest house in the city when anyone in our family is traveling. It keeps my mind occupied and I like the benefit of the cleaner than usual house.
ReplyDeleteThe reflection photos are great!
The old mill is quite photogenic.
ReplyDeleteI llike them both...and since the sun has gone down several hours ago, I am sure your women-folks are alright.
ReplyDeleteI like being away from hubby for a few days so I can eat lighter fare and when I want. I do love to see him when he gets back full of energy.
ReplyDeleteNice work. We're home and safe.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite the story. I always worry when the kids are out and about. Caitlin usually texts me to let me know they are home. She texted to say Jesse had arrived, too. She was in charge of picking him up at the airport.
The old mill reflection looked pretty darned good to me, AC. And, I know what you mean about when Sue is away and it's the same with us. We are together most of the time even when in the apartment, but yet we can escape to our own interests in another area. Still it's comforting to know the other is nearby. Hope Sue had a safe journey to and from.
