Serendipity
I don’t want to jinx it or anything, but ever since I can remember I’ve felt as if I’ve lead something of a charmed life. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve had my share of bad things happen, but when I compare that to the number of times things have just worked out it’s a little scary. Or not. Depending.
Anyway.
Stephen came up this weekend and we had planned to head down to the Arcadia Valley and do a little poking around. The weather appeared to be intent on thwarting those plans, as Friday night was full of storm sirens and tornado warnings. But the cell that was aimed right at me wandered north and demolished the airport instead. So, bullet dodged (unless you were on that flight headed to Chicago). The next day dawned grey and rainy, but we headed south anyway. At the very least we’d have a good drive. Things were pretty dicey going down, the road was closed due to flooding, but we too the back road in and – it all cleared up. We wandered about in relative dryness and warmth, and then we headed back through pouring rain. We managed to visit all the points we wanted save Mina Sauk falls (the trail was a river/muddy bog) and still have a nice drive. That night we took some just-for-fun head shots of Steve and chatted. It was a good time.
Today we went out looking for food and settled on Mexican, but the spot we went to was closed for Easter. We hit this Chinese place just past it, with some misgivings (since we were the only ones there). The food was wonderful. So, there’s that.
Stephen took off and I hung out here not accomplishing anything but a nap and some relaxation, which in retrospect I am totally fine with. All in all, a delightful weekend.
Things just worked out.
