I've finally caught up with all of the comments that Klondike Kate left me. I sure hope that Frank Paynter gets around to interviewing her. She's another gem. One of the older/wiser ones.
My mother is prepared with six days of food and a goodly list of emergency phone numbers.
My car is packed with all the essentials: hair gel; prescription meds; shorts, t-shirts, and jeans; digital camera; Newman’s double chocolate mint cookies; sun block and a rain umbrella; Scrabble; I Ching reference book; 3 fiction books: a seamy steamy high tech mystery, a space opera with a strong female protagonist, and a touching first novel that Publisher’s Weekly describes as a reminder that life is sweet and funny and surprising – and, of course all kinds of theatrical paraphernalia necessary for creating a memorable Solstice celebration. Wind, sun, water, and stone – all heed the words of a kindly Crone.
No computer, no blog. Just sun, sand, surf, and sleep. And some reading and lots of laughing in between.
There are three of us going out to Maine in two cars filled with food- and fun- stuffs. I’ll be back after the Solstice, much re-created, I hope. This might well be the last time -- as long as my mother is with me -- that I'll be able to get away for more than a day or two.

YOU are such a BRAT! (grin) You are nudging, harder. I am still recouperating and catching up from my trip, trying to remember how to write, and ... the dog ate my homework. (Really, there is tremendous anxiety here. I'm not a physicist, or mathmatician, don't have any published books, I don't have anything to crow about! Except for the crows.)
"The Lovely Bones" sounds like a very good read! (May I quote the Yetti? "*snort* Like you're going to have time to READ.")
I hope you have much fun, making whoopee on the beach, celebrating Solstice in true fashion! You deserve a getaway and some "me" time, to rejuvenate.
Elaine, Crone of Blogdom! Listen to her match the ocean's roar!
