Anything take me away

Shoot me in the head! I am sitting here on my 11th conference call of the day (I wish I were making this up) in a 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. marathon. (I did get that 3 hour break to enjoy dinner at La Caille with Susan's French classes, but I'm starting to think that was just a dream.) All I can think about is my dream for a simpler life. . . a little hobby farm (no phones) with a miniature cow named Food Storage. . . . sitting on the covered patio sipping limeade and listening to crickets. Lucy! You don't need to bark. Aahh. Peaceful evening.
