Aaahhh what a weekend.
It was just what I needed. I left the state . . . went west about 3.5/4 hours . . . spent some time with someone I care about very much . . . and generally had a lovely, relaxing weekend.
PA is beautiful this time of year. Its beautiful any time of year, but especially now. The colors, the mountains (little mountains . . but mountains nonetheless!) I went to the Fall Foliage Festival with R. . . we just wandered around . . looked at the arts and crafts . . . looked at all the lovely old homes in downtown Bedford (one of them was refurbed . . . and had this LOVELY gas lamp out front. it looked fantastic!)
Its so darned pretty out there. If I didn’t have such a good job and musical network here, I’d probably end up out that way . . somewhere in a pretty little town with pretty little houses, lots of land and great views. I’m definitely an aesthetic person . . I like to take in my surroundings and enjoy them every day (hence the enjoyment I get out of my drive to work.)
It’s also nice that someone out that way likes me a little bit. (just a little)
R and I met on August 25th. (I’m usually not good with dates. . . but this meeting also came as a precursor to my apartment move . . so for the moment, I remember the date) He came all the way out from PA to help me pack up all my crap and haul it a few miles north.
and he didn’t even get a lousy t-shirt.
But he stuck with it . . hung out with me for the weekend . . . and then ended up coming out the following weekend as well.

the rest . . . well . . is still in the making I suppose. This was my first trip out there . . . it was a little nerve wracking . . (I got to meet the ‘friends’ . . or . . at least some of them) . . . but it was nice too. Really nice. I enjoyed it immensly out there. I enjoyed him immensly too.

hehehe
I also took my camera out there . . . BUT . . the camera never left the car. dangit. I could have taken all sorts of nice pics. . . . . . . oh well. I’ll take pics the next time I’m out there.
