I have to admit that things have been hectic here at my house. My two teenagers are leaving for Europe today! They’re going to five countries in three weeks with a favorite teacher. Each summer she takes about 35 kids somewhere, and even lets some former students (like my son) come along.

 It’s been very exciting~and, as I was ironing last night for two hours (which is such a ‘mom’ thing! All their clothes are going to be in duffle bags!) I was thinking that all this preparation has been a little exhausting, as well.

The kids have been a little concerned about my husband and me. As in, what in the world will we do with no kids for three weeks? Those of you who have children are probably smiling with me.~somehow I think we’ll be just fine! <g>

I have a lot of writing to do, but my husband Tom and I are going to travel a little bit as well. We’re going to go to Louisville for the 4th of July. There, we’ll go to a minor league baseball game, shop, and sleep in. The weekend after that, we’re going to drive north to the Middlefield, Ohio area. That’s the setting of my 2011 Families of Honor series. So, we’ll visit Amish country and I’ll take notes. Oh, and we’re going to stay in downtown Cleveland for a night, too.

So, we’re going to have a great time. Okay, we won’t be in Paris <g> but we will enjoy driving on country roads, and doing things that we want to do. And that, of course, is what summer is all about.

Anyone else have a driving trip planned this summer?  

PS…If you would like a bookmark, bookplate, or pen, please email me your address and I’ll send them off to you.
