Welcome to my world, such as it is. I enjoy reading. My primary reading material is novels. Not exactly the sort of material to broaden my mind, but it takes me to places and times when my daily where and when are unsatisfactory. I also enjoy sewing, a clean house, animals when they’re kept under control, and domestic things like ironing. I’m definitely an old-fashioned kind of woman. Many might even say just an old woman!
Days are spent on the road in a Freightliner, (not my first choice of jobs-but not quite my last choice either). At times being in the truck is not so bad. It wouldn’t be the time in Edmonton, Alberta when the roads were icy and the temperature got down to -35 F at night. I am not a large fan of deadly cold! Witnessing a pair of male eagles competing for territory in the Columbia Gorge not 20 feet in front of the windshield was incredible! Then there was the day a couple years ago in central Oregon when we saw two of the biggest birds I’ve ever seen or heard of. They reminded me of giant crows. Black in color, wingspan well over 10 feet. I’ve never seen them since, but the locals figured they were mutant crows from the Hanford, Washington area. Could be, I suppose. I’d thought them to be the thunderbirds of native American lore, but those seem to be more like enormous eagles. I’ll go back with a camera one day and wait to get proof in the form of video or stills, or both. Totally amazing!
