More Travel

I hope you are all looking forward to school beginning next month and enjoying your summer, too. I have been off on adventures of my own. I flew to the west coast for an exciting weekend get-away. I visited the castle that was in the Bedtime Stories movie located in Napa Valley and I walk out over the Golden Gate Bridge. I was an awesome experience that I shared with my wonderful husband. The weather was much cooler than here and amount of fog was amazing. The flight was spectacular because we were way above the clouds making it look like a winter wonderland covered in snow. I hope you will share your adventures with me. I would love to hear about them.

Day at the Beach

I just have to ask...Have you been to the beach this summer? I went to the north end of the beach Friday. It was a wonderful afternoon. The sun was bright and hot with very few clouds in the sky. There was a cool breeze that helped to keep me comfortable. The amazing thing was that there were dolphins not far from shore. They looked like guards the way they swam back and forth just beyond the people in the water. But even more amazing than that was that I saw them jump entirely out of the water twice. I had only seen that in pictures before Friday. It was awesome and inspiring. Have any of you seen the dolphins jump out of the water at Virginia Beach? Have you seen anything unusual this summer?

Keeping Busy

I am glad to have heard from some of you. I sure am curious about what the rest of you are doing. I know Sarah is swimming and looking forward to 1st grade. How about the rest of you? I just spent a week getting ready for a yard sale at my house which fortunately wasn't rained out. I found new homes for some of my stuff (reusing) so that it didn't have to go to the dump. In addition, I made a little money to spend on my trip to California and my daughter's wedding at the end of the month. Saving the world can be beneficial for all of us. Have you done any reducing, reusing, or recycling this summer? I would love to hear about it. I have big plans for all of us this year so that we can each do our part to conserve our natural resources.
