Well, this past week we had a chance to put miles of pavement on our odometer and cross more than a few state lines in the process. We traded triple-digit heat for triple-digit heat, scoped out a few houses for sale, spent quality time with family and friends, and fixed a flat. Not bad for a whirlwind of a week.
I always dread the drive back and the world to which that takes us. It's nice to be in the place I think we should have never left to begin with, but that's an old story. We had a nice break anyway. This trip was a little bit different because the oldest was not with us. He's a working man, you know.
I guess I don't have any room to complain. The fellowship was great. The food was fantastic. The coffee reigned supreme (a plug for THE best coffee shop east or west of the Mississippi). I do feel recharged and ready to go back and face whatever may come. Besides, there might be something brewing.
In the meantime, I'll go back to doing what I do best.
Holding the fort together.
Reading way too much.
And taking up space in the shade.
At least I got that road trip out of my system.

Oh, so you are thinking about moving back where you belong? Maybe I'll be seeing you one of these days. Surely our paths would cross at some point.
Love all the photos. the lake. That last picture has my heart a flutter, though. what a marvelous place to sit and read. glad you spent time with friends and family. Our daytrips got cut short from the 102degree temps playing havoc with my hubby's COPD. take care.
Temps in the midwest have been at a crazy high of anywhere from 106 to 112. Earlier the thermometer read 104 at eight o'clock in the evening. Can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm ready to head back south to COOLER temps.
