It's that time again!!!

What seemed in my childhood memory to be a three month affair has come to an abrupt end. I have to go back to school tomorrow, after only 2 glorious months of intentional busy-ness. I have packed an enormous amount in the past few weeks, and will have to continue some tasks well into August and September. For the most part the summer break of 2006 has been very rewarding. Time spent in the grip of sorting and purging was fruitful, though it is the part "to be continued" into the first few months of school . . . weekend projects already planned for me. I did take a short vacation with kind friends, Bob and Vicki Anderson, who whisked me away to Savannah and Charleston. What am amazing treat for me! After returning I attended motorcycle school as a personal challenge to fulfill a long time dream of owning and riding a Harley. Congratulations are in order on both counts. Now I am just looking for clearer, cooler days ahead to reap the rewards. As Scott says, 'ridin' weather is comin'.' Summer also included days visiting with members of the medical profession. You know that I had fun there, what with the usual physical, blood work, bone density test, mammo, and a special colonoscopy treat to top it all off! The Lord has blessed me with good news on all counts. God is good. I also enjoyed time with family and friends just kickin' back with good food and laughs. In addition I tried to work in a bit of culture-read a few new books, including an amazing comic book recommended by Aaron called Bone. If you get the chance jump in, you will be amazed. I caught a few movies for grins too, Cars, Pirates, and Devil Wears Prada - all worth the time in the cool. My last venture into Nashville this summer was several hours in awe at the Frist Center for the Visual Arts. Two excellent collections captivated me for 4 hours - The Quest for Immortality (Egyptian artifacts ranging from 1550 through 332 BC) ** though it did erk me to see we now deem it necessary to say BCE - "Before the Common Era" ** The other collection was Pulitzer Prize winning photographs 1940 to present day. Both exhibits had serious "wow factor"! Yep, I'd have to say that the summer of 2006 has been very rewarding. Hope your summer days were as sweet.
It's that time again! School is here! Who knows when I will look up again, I get such tunnel vision.
Love to you all.
God bless our days.
