The struggle is real, Or....Should I stay or should I go?

Around this time of year, every year, there is an epic struggle.  The struggle is real.  When you've grown up like I did, there are just certain things you DO this time of year.  However, the past few years, as I've grown older and developed powerful muscles that let me sit enjoy relaxation for hours on end (hahaha...see what I did there?) , I find myself wondering if I should stay true to my heritage or break free.  Should I expose myself to ticks and bugs and snakes and poison ivy and brambles and other natural wonders or should I get on with life on the wild side. lol

I really, really, I mean REALLY love these things, as does my mom and most of my family.  We just can't wait until we get a mess of them to enjoy.

Mother's birthday is tomorrow.  She and I have plans to enjoy the day, which do not include hunting for these.  The next day I leave for Paducah, Kentucky.  I won't be mushroom hunting there.  I'll be enjoying these:
Quilts.  Hundreds of beautiful, quilts from all over the world.  Every year during this week there is a National quilt show in Paducah.  Five friends and I will be headed there to be bewildered and mesmerized by all the beauty.  However, a part of my heart will be back here wishing I was traipsing through the woods searching for those elusive morels.  This is the week to find them.  Not last week.  Maybe next week (I hope), but this week they will be popping up like dandelions.  I've trained my son to search for them.  I promise to make him a nice quilt. :)  I'm off to Paducah!! Wheeeeeee!!!

Happy quilty mushroom blessings,
Brenda

    Whether such close continuity in terms of patterns of leadership and political power-holding make it possible to define Jordan as having entered a new epoch post-King Hussein is difficult. There were, Cheap Jordan Shoes, in the first few years of Abduallah’s reign, popular expectations of change. There was a belief that a new, young, dynamic leader, free of much of his late father’s ‘political baggage’ (especially in terms of regional antagonism) might accelerate a programme of political liberalisations - initiated and then frozen if not reversed by Hussein.

    As part of a popular wish for sweeping reform many hoped that the new monarch would lead a campaign against corruption in high places, tackle a faltering economy with vigour and resolve and put rule of law and respect for democracy and human rights at the top of his agenda. Air Jordan Shoes,In so doing he was also expected to replace or to see that his assumption to the throne might be an opportunity to replace the late King’s former advisers with a new ‘liberal’ elite of ministers and senior officials. This has not strictly been the case. The King has maintained ‘continuity’ by making a virtue out of keeping officials who served his father. ‘In fact, many people around me were groomed by my father, and their backgrounds arc clear to all’, stated Abdullah as he responded to sustained criticisms in 2008 that he had surrounded himself by ‘liberals’ who were a danger to the country and its economy (Abdullah,2008). Advocates of political reform, moreover, Retro Jordans, have grown more despondent as Jordan has been compelled to sustain dependencies not only on the United States but also on the conservative pro-Western Arab regimes of the Gulf.
