Walkabout
Back for a walkabout around the state, mostly down in southern Michigan, in the Ann Arbor, Saline, Macon and Tecumseh areas. We stayed at my daughter Anne’s house in Ann Arbor while she was away exhibiting at an Art Fair. It was just Margaret, myself, and their cat Tulip.
Didn’t write a thing, watched no movies, and was off the Internet aside from touching bases with various of our kids as we tried to visit with them.
My lower back pains went away, perhaps because of not sitting in front of a computer screen for long hours. I take note of that.
Spent half a day at the Matthei Botanical Gardens in Ann Arbor and then with relatives here, there, and elsewhere.
Went to see my Granddaughter Emma star in Beetlejuice, a play based on the movie, at a local school auditorium.
Spent some time in Tecumseh, Michigan with Margaret’s sister Kendra and my niece Rebecca Lynn. And then in Macon with Margaret’s brother Lee Frost.

We went to The Ark to see my daughter May Erlewine and Packy Lundgren for a wonderful performance with many featured guests, including Phil Cook (pianist), Theo Katzman (vocals), R O Shapiro (songwriter), Brad Phillips (violin), and Katie Van Dusen (violin).
We drove back the slow way, down roads not so traveled by, taking longer, but less traveled and more big sky.

As Bodhicitta is so precious,
May those without it now create it,
May those who have it not destroy it,
And may it ever grow and flourish.
