We arrived back at Sonnystone early afternoon Thursday. You can read about our trip at My Travel Blog. Wink had traveled very well, (even alerting us to bear outside the camper one night!) but was glad to get back to his old box, as were we.
Saturday was Olivia’s Dance Recital (as well as the Preakness, which did not turn out well, but I don’t wanna talk about it). She has really improved and this year was her best. In fact, the whole (half) of the recital that I watched was better than the last few. It’s tough to get dancing pictures from the cheap seats without blur, but here’s my best of her best…
Didn’t I warn you about what happens when we go off-grid? While we were in the Smokies, the news cycle was Spinning, and when I came out of the no-news-zone it took several hours of reading to catch up with the chaos. I’m glad I missed it in real time. Reading it all summed up was anxiety-producing enough… Of course, those of you who watch faux news 24/7 don’t have any idea what I’m talking about…
Busy week ahead. The garden is growing strong. Check out the photos at My Garden Blog. Until we meet again…
Peace
