. . . since I posted on this blog. Wow. The time has flown! I don't want to bore you with the details of my life, but I do think you deserve to know where I've been. Since I started this blogging stuff a couple of years ago, I've never had such an extended break in my writing.
As I mentioned in the July 30 post, my grandmother (my mother's mother) passed away after a long decline of health over the past couple of years. I spent the last day of July and the first few days of August in Denver, mourning her loss and attending her memorial and burial services.
Then I returned home for a few days and plopped down into the rauckus fun of Vacation Bible School. "FEAR NOT" was the theme - which was a good one for me personally, with the special guest appearance by the bat, the amazingly wild number of kids and teens participating, and the fierce piles of paperwork (at work) and laundry (at home) I faced returning from one trip and heading off for another.
On August 10th, my family and I left for a two-week vacation in Oregon and Washington, visiting family and friends. We were in places so remote that there was no internet connection and almost no cell phone connection. We played on the beach, ate WAY too much ice cream, and went to a carnival and real live rodeo (we even had a long conversation with the rodeo queen - she told us the secret of how she gets her hat to stay on when she's riding fast!).
We arrived home in the middle of the night on Tuesday night, and since then have been turning our attentions to getting things in order - full steam ahead!
It's been SO good to be home - to work out on my own yoga mat and to eat vegetables from our own garden and to see familiar faces at the grocery store and community center. I missed you all.
Well, now . . . back to work!
Faithfully,
Janet+
