I Took Off Without Warning

Life has been good, but busy, and a wonderful way to finish up the month of August and summer. Hubs and I spent a lot of time together just having good times with friends and family. We spent last Wednesday sailing all day on a friend’s sailboat. We spent time with our younger son and his girlfriend playing golf and tennis and having them visit. We had dinners out with friends. But, we also spent several days at our older son’s beautiful house in New Jersey swimming in their pool, watching the kids ice skate and play tennis, having bbqs, and just being out and about. Today I played pickle ball and did yoga. And laundry. And cleaned! Just to let you know, I have plans all week through Labor Day and on our holiday beginning next Monday. Having a big dinner here on Tuesday night. The list goes on and on…….. I will try to stop by for a visit to see how you all are.

That sounds like fun. Kids on a camel, neat. I rode an elephant with my son when he was small. I wonder if he remembers that? I need to ask him.

@DianneN It must feel good to be home and relax. Thank you. I'm almost finished. I still have a load or two at the old apartment, and then the cleaning. I have almost all the unpacking done. Only six more boxes, plus what is left at the old place, so not bad. The people who helped me move on Saturday, told me this apartment is a definite upgrade. It's so much bigger in many ways. I love the balcony. I turned off the AC the second day and keep the patio door open for fresh air. I'll have pictures once I have everything in place.
