If you’ve noticed a little silence coming from my corner of the internet, don’t worry, I’m here but just not writing at the moment. Last week was wedding week and this week we’re helping a family member move into a retirement facility sooooooo life is busy at the moment – too busy to be writing. I’ll be off tomorrow for three weeks on a much needed vacation with the hubbie, but I’ll be checking in with all of you again at the beginning of August.
Are you enjoying your summer?
Send me a postcard!
Your exhausted tour guide,
Darlene

The wedding was amazing and once I get the okay from my daughter and her hubbie (our son-in-law!!! Love saying that word!) I may post some photos. Or at least write about it.

well, from what I can discern, the wedding went well – hopefully the cross country move did so as well. Then you guys most definitely need that vacation!! away from family!! LOL!! I hope you’re going somewhere fun and relaxing!! by the time you get back, we’ll be gone — we’re up to box #33 so far (which includes about 15 boxes we didn’t unpack from the last move – haha). We’ve gotten rid of a bunch of furniture: the girls have moved their “must keeps” to a storage unit, and we’re ready for the packers and movers!! I’ll be thinking of you enjoying your much deserved vacation as we make our way up I5 with 2 howling cats in the back of the Suburban! Looking forward to your next entry — and more photos????

Believe me, taking it easy is what I plan to be doing. But starting tomorrow and not today. Still things to clean up from the wedding.

I did a Google search for “exhausted” and that picture showed up. That pretty much sums me up at the moment.

I’m so tired I’m typing with one hand. But I thought I should check in. Nice to see you, Linda.

Glad to see you’re still here Darlene. Did you look beautiful at the wedding? Don’t be modest. I sometimes think modesty (which we were taught in huge doses by our parents,) can be hypocritical.

Well, my daughter looked beautiful and that’s what counted the most. I looked like me all dressed up 😉

Yes, and he’s a wonderful son-in-law too. So our family is expanding and that’s a wonderful feeling. Even though I DO miss my little daughter who used to live down the hall.

Yes, and I don’t do “busy” very well. I enjoy the solitude of being a writer, but it seems at the moment I am in the middle of a social whirlwind. The vacation (hopefully) will slow life down a bit and I’m looking forward to that.

You are ending your nuptial whirlwind and we are starting ours. Luckily Mary is MOG but she is still stressing. I think I may have offended Matt when he asked if I was excited my response was, “Not as much as your mother.”
