LOST

I lost my car!  I said as I entered the Yurt.  The look on his face read, " ARE YOU SERIOUS?  You have got to be kidding? Is this a joke?  What am I going to do with this lady?  Is she delirious? Why is she staring at me?  Does she mean, lost as is someone stole it?  Ok, breath, she seems normal, but how do you loose your car!!! Maybe I will get her some free hot chocolate?  Maybe I will walk her out and re-direct her to security or the bathrooms, WOW!" Yet he said nothing,  but smiled,  tucked his chin and kindly began to  lead me out of the Yurt  to I don't know where, so I threw  my hand out to introduce myself and say sorry, I was just kidding, I was sent here by Cortni to say Hi, So, Hi there....!!! He said, " You know about first impressions, laughing?"  By the look of salt  still  in his hair from the last surf stop in Northern Australia and his shimmering California smile and the winter snow tan, he obviously lacks no self confidence and   brings peace and love to everyone he meets.  His charisma and charm make him one of a kind.  We stood and chatted about California and Australian art- the small dots and earthy tones and how someday he will adorn his pad with native art and artifacts from the Outback.  Time to go, I mentioned I was off to locate my car, we laughed and he reassured me that the one who sent me  was certain to receive a fair amount of serious razzing!   He said he had a pocket full of artillery for her which sounded both good and interesting..... I bounced in the direction of my car, hoofing it with hands and arms full and when I saw  my car  in sight I let out a breath of relief that I really had not lost my car.
So much fun moving from Yurt to Yurt and the PFZ (parent free zone), stop and go lift (love grandview), beenie launching, snowball tossing, saddened children, stoked children, PARENTS (wow), ride lessons, hot chocolate, long hair, magic carpet, snow mobile -wheelies, walkie takies, witty kids, laid back and relaxed peeps,  missing name tags, super bowl (gotta go's), kids, kids, kids- Everyone I met this day 
   Lovely.
