I’m leaving Monday for a week’s vacation, and I won’t have Internet access. (Perish the thought! What does one do without email?). So my blog will sit silent for a week. But there’s a lot here in the archives to wade through so I hope you will kick off your shoes and tiptoe through the waters of my assorted musings. :)

In the meantime, I’ll be off at a combination writer’s retreat and family vacation in Missouri. This will be my first time to brainstorm with other authors, and I’m really looking forward to it. Some of my family will see the sites while I’m doing writerly stuff, while some of them will be at home working.

But I’m also looking forward to writing during the long drive and then spending some time on a dinner cruise and visiting a theme park. It should be fun!

In any case, I hope you all enjoy these hot days of August. :) School starts soon after we return with lesson plans for our homeschool – our last year. And the ACFW Conference is only a month away!

Where has the summer gone?
