Hello Again, Sweet Blog Friends!

It sure has been a busy season - pretty much non-stop since Christmas, it seems. We all know how crazy spring was around here for us, now we're into summer and it's starting with a bang too.

Half of the family came out to Florida to be with big sister during a medical crisis. I was at the wheel on this trip and left Dad back in Texas with the other kids. It was my first experience driving this far. What a trip! But we also had fun on the way. P absorbed any and all maps, and geographical things we brought with us and quickly made the promotion to Navigator on the trip. By the time we entered this state I had to pitstop into the Welcome Center in order to get her fresh material to learn about this region. (can you say Geography Lesson? ) Dear kid still doesn't know she was learning the whole way. Muahahaha

We've also seen Dolphins while here and today we went to their little museum. There was a strange exhibit - post cards people have mailed in with their deepest secrets? Anyway, it really is an emotional ride reading and seeing all of that on display and the kids thought it was a unique experience. I guess it goes to proove that "Art" can be just about anything and can take your emotions on little trips of their own.

Oldest daughter is out of the hospital now and on her way to recovery. This means that we will be heading home soon. The thing is, once home I will be unpacking and repacking for my trip to the northwest coast. I will be up there for 3 weeks.

I was calculating the miles I will be traveling this month - about 7,000 miles once I get home again the next time. I will have crossed the United States from the South East corner up to the North West corner.  I told hubby that I needed to just go for it and fly over to New York and then down to San Diego before coming back home next time. We laughed at that thought.

Well that's about it from here in Florida. We will likely begin our journey home tomorrow or the next day. Praying for clear skies the entire trip back.
