End of Vacation

All good things must come to an end, even vacation. We had a really great week. We made it back to Good Harbor Beach on Friday for another luscious day. Beyond the beach trips and the World Cup games, Andy got to fit in some relaxing, reading, exercising, and cleaning out the basement. Oops! Ah well, there's got to be some yin with the yang.

Today Pete and Julie started day camp. Pete is in "senior camp," which means that he gets to pick electives all day. Which means that he plays sports all day. Street hockey, wiffle ball, basketball, soccer, flag football, gaga ball, you name it, he'll play it. Julie is in "upper camp," which is a mix of electives and scheduled activities. Both kids have some school pals in their groups, so they're Happy Campers.

So with all the kids at camp, that means that I'm free! Oh wait, no, it means I'm back to work. Today I headed into town to Andy's office, and I'm going in again later in the week for a couple more days. (We're currently in between secretaries, so I'm helping out with the phones.) Then I might get a day or two off before my next editorial project starts up. I'm grateful that this rare, brief lull came at the right time—I had absolutely no deadlines hanging over my head last week. Next up are a cookbook and a parenting book, both of which suit me just fine.
