One of the disadvantages of being on an interesting vacation is a lack of time/space to post things as I would like to. Dan has generously provided a laptop that Howard and I are free to use, without which I would be completely offline until my return. I want very much to write everything as I go, but I am finding it difficult to create the mental space necessary for composing thoughtful entries. This is not a fault of the house or the hosts, it is just the natural consequence of having many new things going on at once.
It has been a wonderful quiet morning. We had a good breakfast followed by a homework time, a dip in the hot tub, and a craft. My kids are in heaven.
