Learning To Be Single

Yes, learning to be with ones self after 39 years is a challenge. Even before that Brian and I had lived with each other on the sly. It still feels new, like Brian has left on a trip or is at a conference for a few days. The mind plays tricks to help you process the magnitude of it all. After my sister left for her home in Honolulu and I left my brother's house in Ft. Collins, I was truly on my own.

On the way home to Alliance I stopped to shop a little at the new mall on Harmony Road in Ft. Collins, stopping at the new Sprouts grocery, Lowe's and super Target. Feeling pretty pleased with my self I started to leave the parking lot and there was a strange noise and feel to F-150 pickup. To my dismay the right front tire was flat. OH my, my heart sank! I have never in my life have had to change a tire. Fortunately, I called my brother-in-law James who came to the rescue. I had ran over a bottle of some sort and ruined my tire. James gave me a lesson in changing the large truck tire and showed me where all the tools are located to fulfill the project, such as tire iron and jack. Needless to say, I don't think I could do it if I had to. Triple A might be a better option for this lady. Yes, my first big adventure and it was a flop. I still needed male assistance and support. It will be a long learning curve for me.

Thanks James!

Easter will bring more family and friends, not to mention eggs and baskets of joy. The family will be getting together to help with a few chores around the house and participate in the big clothes give away. So for now I will be hopping along the bunny trail!
