I’m Still Here

Posted on July 11, 2013 by darlenecraviotto

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????

Where’d you get that picture???? Excellent. I already know what you’re up to, so no surprise there. Take it easy, though, Darlene!

  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.

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.

  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.”
