Lovely report.

 

[off to neverland]

For those of you who have been checking back for part 2....... I'm so sorry it is taking so long.

I have no excuse, except to say that I got a bit caught up reading Da Vinci's Code and spent two too many nights up until 3:30 AM reading. I love reading in the summer!

Also, my dad and I have been busy booking a Disney Cruise, and that has taken up some time as well.

Now that I have that darn book finished and am free again, I hope to write that installment tonight.

Thanks for all the lovely words; they really inspire me to keep writing.

Love your reports. This installment had me laughing out loud, and your day hasn't even really begun. Like your sense of humor and digressive stories!

We have an impromtu trip coming again next week, and I was looking to see what other people have have experienced lately. I was so happy to see your screen name attatched to more reviews! You are such a talented writer, do you write other than these boards? You should!!

The last review you wrote had me visualizing the fat I am eating going through my veins...

Now, as you were writing about the jasmine, I felt totally there. Then, as you wrote about your kids and the memory of yours of them on the bridge, it brought me to tears.

Keep it coming!
Your fan, Anne

I am SO SORRY that I have not worked on this at all! I'm so distracted with other things, and I hate to leave this unfinished. It will come, but it may be slow. I do apologize for leaving you all hanging; I know how frusterating it is to get into a report and have someone stop.

So, don't look for it for now, but know that I WILL finish it, and will post an update on this thread when I do.

We are home from the funeral; it was quite an ordeal. Aside from the whole issue of being home for a very unhappy reason (Dix's godfather's suicide death, for those of you who don't know), there was a lot else going on.

The good news: Dix and I both talked to old friends that hadn't spoken to us in over 15 years .... it was great to have that peace! IT seems there's nothing like a tragedy to bring people together.

We stayed with my mom and dad for a week, and they had a house full because some VERY distant cousins we had never met had called to ask if they could stay in mom and dad's cabin as they were passing through town to see relatives. Mom and dad said sure, but had no idea these people would stay 7 NIGHTS, and COMPLETELY take over the house! They were, without a doubt, the most obnoxious guests ever. My mom is begging me to write a short story about it... some of the shenanigans are just too funny!

So, between feeling an immense sorrow, we were incredibly frusterated with our obnoxious guests, and we also laughed through the whole week about how absolutely ridiculous the entire situation was.

And to add more to it, these cousins decided to meet us back at our home here in CAnada for an additional 3 day visit, at the same time that my mom was coming to visit. (Dix and I made the mistake of inviting them during the first 24 hours we knew them, before they became the "guests from hell.")

So, they arrived here in CAnada half an hour before my mom did, and left half an hour before she left.

Poor mom couldn't escape them, and called me this morning to tell me she's been having nightmares that they are driving back up her driveway to stay longer.

I told her she has a textbook case of post traumatic stress disorder from overly-obnoxious houseguests!

So now they are gone, mom is gone, and we are FINALLY getting back into just enjoying a relaxing summer. Before summer ends, I'd like to finish my trip report, read another book, and write a little short story on our trip home for the funeral. Those are my goals, not sure if I'll finish them, but that's what I hope to accomplish!

Hope you guys are all having a great summer........................
