Here it is a year & a half since quitting my Hallmark part time job, & I’m still struggling with what to do with myself. I don’t have much motivation to clean all day, although with Seth & Cameron’s help, we have cleaned out the garage this summer:)! No creative muse has overtaken me, but I am addicted to my laptop, checking emails & Facebook, and reading:)
Keith & I are trying to walk\/bike as many mornings as we can. Through the summer we’ve been searching for & going to free evening outdoor concerts in the area–great fun:) <\/p>\n

We’re just back from a special vacation to Beaver Falls, Pa. to visit Jean & Ken, and especially Mom. Skye & Ben came up from Johnson City, Tenn., Cameron & Jen stopped in for two nights on their way to Canada, & Denny & Nancy came down from Wis.! Wish Seth & Kelley could have come, but otherwise we couldn’t have planned any better to have a family reunion. (Only Kendall & Kristen & Korey, Molly, & Bryce, along with Seth & Kelley, were missing)<\/p>\n

On our way home we stopped overnight in Harper’s Ferry, which is a national park in the triad area of West Va., Maryland, & Va. We walked around the area for about an hour & a half:) The town is located at the scenic confluence of the Shenandoah River & the Potomac.<\/p>\n

In November Keith’s niece Molly is getting married, so we’re excited about that:) And today Keith’s nephew Kendall & his wife Kristen had their second child, a little girl, Kallie Mae! Her brother Korey will be tickled to welcome her:)<\/p>\n

Skye’s moving into another apartment not far from her present one. She may be re-located by the weekend. Glad she’ll have a more up to date place-with AC & a good heater!:)<\/p>\n

The weather’s been nice this summer…warm a few days, then mild a few days. And the rain’s been plentiful:) Everything is a beautiful shade of green:) The crepe myrtles are bending over with bountiful blossoms….blessed:)<\/p>\n
