serenity now!

Serenity now - remember that Seinfeld episode?


A couple of weeks ago, Greg and I visited Gale Meadows Pond
A deep breath and... 
 serenity
No need to shout it, here.
With any luck, we'll get our kayaks out this weekend.

It's a crazy time of year at work
-and I've been trying to get a jump on things so that I'll be able to take a few days off when 
the trail brings Maggie through Vermont sometime next month.

Appalachian Trail - Pennsylvania

I am sooooo looking forward to seeing her in person!

And - more exciting news in our family - our younger daughter in now engaged to her boyfriend of 6 years!
We're so happy for them and now look forward to wedding preparations - eeeek!

So - that's it for me - I suspect I'll continue to be a very sporadic blogger for the next few weeks
but hope to continue to visit you from time to time.

Have a wonderful Memorial Day weekend!
