Country goes to the city

Today I rode into the center of Baltimore to Johns Hopkins University.  It was very easy to find, parking was more difficult but we lucked out on level 2 of the parking garage.  Just a 1/2 block walk to our destination.  The gentleman working the reception desk was a great guy and with his welcome grin just made the shoulders drop and the breathing relax.  Country girl needed that.  So wonderful to see when they hired this man they knew he would be a good one!  He said sign in and I will walk you to the building you need to be at.  Dang this just got better.

On the way out and one more thank you and telling him how nice he had been I said, one more thing............tell us how to get to I-83 and I will even tell you your handsome!  That's the ticket, kindness.  Of course this man shined kindness.  Right on too, we found our way out..........no problem!

It was exciting to see exit signs for Camden Yards, Inner Harbour, the zoo and aquarium.  Hopefully I can convince someone to go back to Baltimore for some adventures.  Great place to visit but my thoughts leaving the city were back in Clara and Cook'n by the Creek.  My safe place where making a wrong turn will not be in an area filled with danger.  Of course in all fairness city folks would probably fear our woods, animals and low population with neighbors too far away for security.  Like the saying "it takes all kinds" and that is what makes up our beautiful USA.

The only cooking I have done since Tuesday morning has been my 3 little boys supper tonight.  No cooking tomorrow, Richard is going to try Lentil soup all by himself for our supper tomorrow night!  His kitchen skills are little to none but he has been trying lately and I have been trying too ;)  You see I have that personality that NOBODY can do it as good as me..........not just cooking but everything!  If I have to watch someone doing something it is best for me to turn away, I get all nervous and usually have an out burst of "HERE LET ME DO IT"  Even if they can do it better.   Not fun and I really am trying to STOP!
