This is what I am doing today – I have to get going on this project or it won’t be ready in time to accompany a sweet friend of mine when she goes off to college for the first time. That means by the end of August! So I am officially cracking the whip (on myself).

The week has gone by quickly. Our visit to my niece and her family was lovely. We had lunch at a local Mexican restaurant – delicious, one of the best I’ve ever had. Though the visit was bittersweet, we had fun sharing time with them and playing with the kids. My nephew (niece’s brother) got married last month in Hawaii and we saw the photos from the happy day.We also saw pictures of Amsterdam and their apartment. What a beautiful city! By now the family is settling in and starting their adventure. And no, my husband and I didn’t go to the Hawaii wedding. As much as we wanted to, our budget wouldn’t allow it. The pictures looked simply beautiful and the setting couldn’t have been more perfect.

It is very hot and humid here once again – in the 90’s with a heat index of over 100. Dreadful! The air conditioning is on and we are staying as cool as possible. I hope all of you out there are staying cool and enjoying your day!
