knock out

is what my brother and i always called her. "knock out grandma".

i traveled home to minnesota wednesday for her funeral. her service was beautiful and i was reminded more than ever what a stunning woman she was. she had exquisite taste, took such pride in her home and wardrobe and everyone loved sitting down for coffee and a chat with ida golub. i loved that most too. long and wonderful conversations about life. i cherish those times and hold them dear. i love you, miss you and hope you are resting peacefully grandma.

Ida Golub (June 19, 1926 - December 6, 2010)

on the road

i've been away, traveling up the west coast to washington to see family. passed through portland for a minute. that's a trip i want to take several days for. i've been compiling lists & lists of places to visit while there but there's just too many for an overnight stay. its like a sick tease that i'm not willing to flirt with on this journey.

road trips are gnarly. the idea of it is so romantic but frankly driving around for more than 6-7 hours kinda stinks. i guess i just can't hang. that is so my style, to plan the shit out of a trip. idealize about all the tasty and most picturesque places i'll visit then end up just wanting to rest in my cute boutique hotel room, paralyzed by all the over eating i've done. does this make me an uber planner and not so much doer? hmmm, let me think about it and get back to you. i may be on to something here.
