home sweet home
As I wrote previously, we were gone for almost all of April (Gulf Coast Spring Break, Bahamas Wedding and NYC for Kindiefest) and, for once, have no big trip planned for this summer. So I figured I could make lemons out of lemonade and spend “…some slow weeks at home to get organized. And simply

Gazoo kept me company as I tried to hide from the constructions workers here on Saturday until 6pm.

The last night of our Gulf Coast Spring Break camping trip we spent camping at St. George Island State Park. We had heard great things about the barrier islands along the Florida panhandle, and I had hoped to spend more than one night there, but I worked on our plans a bit too late. Maybe

I have yet to google these “Well Fed” stickers that have been showing up all over town …

During our fire academy class tonight, the sky over Decatur turned quite ominous.

Camille always enjoys seeing bits of yarn bombing around Decatur and elsewhere. Chloe says these get in the way of her acrobatics, however.

The scaffolding is now complete and soon the truly noisy part will begin. I ned to find somewhere to hide for the next month or two.

Chloe moans about practicing, but she really does like playing the violin and wants to continue with it next year … typical kid, I suppose.

We woke to rain. Instead of a long, lazy morning at LEAF, we decided to not take our chance but to pack up before it started raining even harder…

Chloe devoured her snack after riding the zip line into the lake…

A mad morning of working and packing. An afternoon of collecting Chloe, eating with the goats and driving. Finally, we were all settled in at our camping site at LEAF.

For our Gulf Coast Spring Break trip, the girls and I spent two nights camping at Ochlockonee River State Park. While this park did not meet our spring break criteria of being near the beach, it was the closest I could find after waiting until March to plan our trip. After slamming on the brakes

It is going to be a very noisy few months here at our place ….
not trip planning
For the first time in what seems like forever, I am not in trip-planning mode. I’m not studying maps. I’m not searching for what I want to do while “there”. I’m not looking into lodging. Camille finishes classes next week; Chloe finishes school the week after. And, because of finances/vacation being drained by our trip

Gazoo knew I wasn’t feeling great yesterday and decided to hang with me for quite a long time. Sweet kitty.

Despite how not-so-good our feelings about Chloe’s school are at the moment, we are doing our best to participate in “Teacher Appreciation Week”. I’m not feeling very appreciative tight now, but don’t feel like we have any choice but to feign appreciation. At least the leftover flowers look nice on my table.

For the next two weeks, Yelp’s Passport to Decatur Square! will be participated in by a number of places around the square. Rob and I went over to the kick-off last night, but there were fewer restaurants participating than I had hoped. And 2 of the 3 food samples were of the meat variety…
i can see a glimmer of light
The month of April had us at home for about ten days; we first went on spring break, then to the Bahamas for my sister’s wedding and then to NYC for Kindiefest. Of course, we’ve had months where we were home for fewer days than that, but somehow re-entry has been more challenging than ever.

Camille had a down day today. She did go to an author talk at Little Shop that inspired her a bit, but most of the day she stayed around the house working on her various projects.

It was a Decatur day. We walked everywhere we needed to go. In the evening we went to see an author talk at Little Shop and then headed to the square for a bit of the concert.
