Cruise Control through Central California

I'm back from my Fresno mini roadtrip. I stopped by my usual Wednesday farmers market and picked up plums, blueberries, dried figs, lettuce, green beans, zucchini, and then I hopped in my hotel pool like a free-spirited dolphin, it's the next best thing to flying or being free in space. I rinsed off and went shopping at my favorite vintage clothing store and picked out a dress to wear to a friend's graduation this weekend, cute overalls with butterfly embroidery, red tank top with sleeve detail, a purse with airplanes on its side, and a really cute gift surprise - what fun! Then I had a scrumptious dinner at my favorite chicken pot pie shop complete with cooked carrots, mashed potatoes, cole slaw and apple crisp for dessert served by the same friendly smiley waitress everytime I visit Fresno.

Watched a little TV back at the hotel and then hopped back in the pool, floated on my back looking up at the stars, wondered if Giuliano was looking up at that same sky. Work was a sideshow - I mainly wanted to feel the road and let it do its magic, listen to the compilation CDs my brother gave me last Christmas, feel the air and sun, and glide through that pool water. I'm revitalized, happy and free again, realizing that not everything is as it seems - and that's ok, just leave what's not good for you behind with a clear conscience. Toodles.
