Yes we made a trip to Mineral last Saturday afternoon. It was a beautiful day. A few sprinkles however the cool air was not seemingly cold. The ground was not covered with snow just a few spots here and there. Some tree branch debris existed in several spots, a few icy patches on the ground. It was easy to make our way down to our cabin in just about five minutes. Last year took us forty-five minutes to get through shoulder deep snow before we climbed up the icy steps to our mountain abode. We found things in order which tempted us to stay around for a while. No, we couldn't move in for a few days as we had obligations in the valley. The sun peeked through and helped us to notice the beauty of the mountains even during winter time. Mineral Lodge was open and we chose to have lunch there and chat with a few Mineral residents. It was indeed a beautiful day, one that left us happy and relaxed. We had not had much welcome relaxation dur- ing the previous two months. The next few days in the valley were calm and cool. The beauty of our visit to the mountains kept up happy and healthy for a few days. Trip number two was out of town and was partly good and partly challenging. I Pad and computer needed some help by someone with immense brain processing. There were a couple of really drastic actions taking place with my word processing machines. The really "smart" guys worked diligently to get both my machines back to work…well yes and no. Learning all these up to date things were quite a bit different than using an old Remington typewriter. Actually it was more difficult than mending an electric typewriter or even one of the first very large computers that one could not carry with them any- where. Obviously the task we required was based on using today's modern brain pro- cessing. Okay, so the two new machines were back into working at least for half a day when we discovered there were more challenges to apply to the modern keyboard machines. Brain processing became more and more challenging. We decided to eat lunch as there was one more place we had to go to before head- ing home. I entered the building, up the stairs, signed in, and filled out a couple of papers with interesting and somewhat challenging requests. Okay, so I am tired and ready for an after lunch nap. Nope, the nap never happened the after- noon dished out several extremely challenging tasks to me. Did the people offering me these tasks not know that I had a limited amount of sleep the night before and an already challeng- ing afternoon? Carolyn Barber I struggled through one after the other chal- lenging requests for the balance of the afternoon. I fought away feelings of a nap coming on howev- er I continued to comply with the not so welcome challenges. Oh well, it probably helped the young man who was presenting the chal- lenges. I'll bet he went home shaking his head at the interaction of this "chrono- logically more mature" elderly lady. The challenged lady went home to try to catch some well earned sleep. It had indeed been a severe- ly challenging day. Oh well hubby told me I was beautiful. Wow, that word led me to ignore computers and challenging questions. "Beautiful is the thought that calms the challenges and brings rewarding sleep." Carolyn Barber has been writing her column in the Daily News since 1992. It appears on Saturdays.
