Where have I been????

I can't believe that I have been gone for so long.  The kids finished school and it was suddenly busy. 

What I did on my summer vacation:
  1. Went to Maui for 2 weeks and---saw sea turtles, shopped, found a quilt shop in a mall, went for walks, saw cool flowers, hiked, went to an aquarium, watched a water bottle collapse coming down a  mountain, and read a few books.
  2. Watched some awesome fireworks for the 4th of July
  3. A daughter got her braces off
  4. Went to visit family in another state
  5. Picked up hours at work
  6. Watched lots of softball games
  7. Helped with Bible school
  8. Picked blueberries
  9. Picked tomatoes
  10. Made spaghetti sauce
  11. Made salsa
  12. Made plum jam
  13. Made zucchini bread
  14. Went swimming
  15. Went fishing
  16. Went to Mayo for a conference
  17. Sent the youngest kid to a new school (Middle School)

What I did since the kids went back to school.  
  1. Remind dad to schedule the hip surgery that he really needs.

  9. Yikes! I need a holiday after reading it all. It's a relief to learn that others are as busy as I am - I don't feel so guilty. Cheers, Ann :-)
