The Road Home

In a few weeks, I'll be looking down this road (preferably on foot or with the little piece of farm equipment that is SO much fun to drive).

I just finished a massive email to family and friends about our summer 'home country' travel plans. If I have somehow missed sending it to someone who needs it (sorry), please send me an email, and I'll fwd it to you.

It's crazy. Here we are heading for 'home' for the summer, but it is like prepping to visit a foreign country. We have to get doctor stuff done before we go, we have to make lists, we have to think ahead. Sheesh...

The kids are ready. Munchkin #2 has a calendar up in her room and is counting days. I'm not sure where the count is right now.

I'm ready to go 'home' for a while. I'm glad the husband will make it as well for a few weeks, but I'm going to miss him while we're apart. While he's still here in the desert, he'll probably play with my vehicle of choice and gleefully pull parts off of it and add new ones.

At work, everyone can 'smell' summer coming. It's like rats swimming away from a sinking ship; everyone who is able flees to cooler weather for the summer. We even think that a good friend of mine and her daughters (one of whom is VERY good friends with Munchkin #2) may be on our same flight heading out of here. Business just really winds down for the summer.

Munchkin #1 got to get together with three friends today for swimming. Boy, did they have fun.
At least the weather is good for swimming! But the past few days, the sand was really blowing!

I'm looking forward to cool rain and cool breezes.

Peace.
