I’m revving the engine of my roadster, in preparation for a day trip to the hinterlands. It’ll be fun, but also arduous, so I’m glad my gal pal Stace (aka “Bess”) is riding shotgun.
I’ve done a great deal of legwork already. Hoo boy, that was quite an adventure! Long story made short (and illustrated metaphorically), it goes something like this:
Sometimes the tiniest shred of evidence yields an inkling of an idea. And questions about a mislabeled photograph might lead you to an unexpected answer.
You may encounter resistence from some corners.
Matter of fact, some will do everything within their power to shout you down or shut you out.
But you know Nancy: She’s nothing, if not persistent. And lucky girl, she’s surrounded by loving friends who help clear away the underbrush…who steer her back to center whenever she loses her bearings.
I admit that I’m a wee bit apprehensive. But also? Very excited. It’s not been easy, and I’m not there yet. But I’m beginning to think it’s possible to trace this tangled web back to the original knot.

Please know I’m with you in spirit, riding in the backseat of the roadster. Watching your back.
Have a good adventure, Nancy. And take good care of your pumps! 🙂
Thanks, Tracy. I felt the wind at my back yesterday and somehow sensed it was you. xoxoxo
My pumps, however, are trashed.

I am with you too!! Go bravely and untangle that darn knot.
It was a fun trip, albeit with lots of sobering discoveries and realizations. But sidekicks always make the journey easier, so I’m glad you came along for the ride.

I will be your pleasantly plump cohort as you zoom down the roads!
You are a very pleasant companion, and I loved zooming around in my roadster, searching for clues with you. 🙂

What a ditz. I forgot to check here before I tried to call.
Will probably try again on Thursday. Good for you?
I’d love to chat with you, Susan. Definitely so. But I’m not sure about Thursday. Maybe we can sort this out later today?
I’m certain that you will be making your travels in a smart day dress with sensible overcoat and primly styled hair. P.S. don’t forget your heels!
Heee! Take a peek at today’s picture…Absolutely none of your wardrobe suggestions would have worked for that inhospitable terrain. But hey, I remembered to apply my lipstick. 🙂
Go Melodye Go!!!
I’m so glad to hear you’re making some progress! That is a fantastic thing. Just you be careful doing all that legwork though… at least until your leg is properly healed! 🙂
Re: Go Melodye Go!!!
Hahaha! I can smell the burning rubber from here. 🙂
You should have seen me climbing over rocks and down ravines… tt was likely a one-time opportunity, though, so I tried not to think about the consequences.
I hope those white gloves were optional. 😉
My white socks (hush!) were grey, stabbed through and through with stickle burrs.
It’s such a PAIN to sort colored socks, I pretty much stick to white too. Then again, my husband insists he’s nominating me for an appearance on “What Not To Wear.” 🙂
I’m used to wearing flip-flops, so I’m flummoxed when it comes to closed-toed shoes.
And summer is coming here! Pretty soon I won’t have to put another pair of shoes on till September. 😉
