Winding Down

The school year is slowly winding down and coming to a close. Although Ben and Hannah continue to do math and work on other things, the year-end tests have been taken and I am ready for summer vacation. Troy will be here on Tuesday and Wednesday and then he will be home with his parents for July and August. When he returns it will be half days. Sara and Alysa will finish up school this week too. It is highly likely that I will not have them for the summer months as their schedule will keep me in limbo more than I would like; summer school, riding lessons, day camp... I am hoping to have time to do some visiting and take a few day trips before settling in again in the fall. I'm also thinking about doing some artwork or maybe painting my living room. Maybe I'll find a few good books to read and enjoy some time on the back porch, go out to lunch with my husband, or sit by the pool with Rachel. Perhaps Shelly and I will take a hike or Gudl and I will walk through the Little Forest. Maybe I will meet up with Apple and Country Girl when I take my kids to camp in Oswego. Do you suppose I might find my way to visit my friend in NY City or Grandmanita in Halifax, Nova Scotia? Anything is possible if you only believe...

  1. I'm so glad you're going to be free this summer! I would love to get together and sip iced tea by the pool and chat. Hey, we never did have that inner tube war! And then there's always watermelon seed wars to be had also...10 points for the ones that stick on the face.Lol! I hope you get to visit everyone and do all the things that you want to do!

  3. sigh,.. I had such high hopes of sipping ice tea with you on your back porch this summer, But alas that won't be happening now. Mom issues, T. moving issues, grandkid sitting issues, you know how it goes. Someone better be manning the camera for that inner tube war!
    I'm excited for you! Crossing my fingers you get to go to Halifax. :D

  5. Judi, I thought that might be the case. Do you suppose God has a back porch in heaven where we can all sit and sip iced tea some day?
