My odd project for today

I have a former kid client who is now 20. She lives in Colorado and is in culinary school. She is taking a class right now on making and marketing spirits with a twist.
Because she lived so long in California (we met when she was four and her mother was in recovery), she wants to create a spirit subtly flavored by redwood trees.
My assignment (she called me the other day) is to harvest some bark from redwood trees and send it to her.
I have a few youngish redwood trees near my house, so I'm going to harvest some bark from them.
Later in the Month, I may go to a redwood forest and gather some bark for her from larger, older, trees.
Do you have any odd projects for today? What does your Sunday hold?

Is it legal to harvest redwood bark?

@TheHorse I think it's wonderful that she stays in touch with you. Apparently, you were a good influence.

@1creekgirl Oh, yeah. She is one of my "success stories." But I worry (probably too much) about many of the kids I've worked with.

@didinedhia I wonder why the area was "settled" in the first place. What are the main industries?

I helped lead singing at church and attended a pot luck. My mind was very unsettled and I had a lot of back and body pain. Took medicine, and slept. That is why I am up at 1 in the morning. I have had almost six hours sleep. I will go back to bed in a minute or two. Probably will find a snack first.

I had a real long nap and a real short time at work. (I was going to work today, but after about half an hour it started snowing and I said, "Nope, not gonna risk it," and came home.)

Well, your odd project certainly beats mine. Mine is just to lay around, myLot, read, eat, and maybe nap.

I held a book and the bed held me. Or I could be redneck and say holded me.

@vandana7 If anyone could test the patience of a "saint", vanny, I believe it would be you! (No, I'm not calling pony a saint. You did that several times on myLot, though! )
