The way to my vacation

One more week of work before my vacation. Just Patches and I are heading to the camp at the lake. As I think I mentioned in an earlier blog, Carol took her vacation on the trip with her sister and mother and Ian is working. I'm definitely due to get away from the office with a change in scenery. If you've seen my blogs from last year you'll pretty much know what I'm planning. I have my book ready, a flexible plan for a couple of excursions. I'll post some blogs and I have some other things I hope to write. I'm be taking more sunset photos, throwing a stick in the lake for Patches to fetch (about a thousand times). My expectations are simple, everyone that works for a living should have such a week once a year. So far this summer I've mentally held back from looking forward to my vacation. I've waited so long for spring and summer to arrive that I make quite an effort to savor each day whether at work or play, rain or shine, humid and muggy, windy and wet it's all summer to me and seldom requires a shovel or snow tires. Now that Carol is home safe and sound from her trip and I've been working through some intense projects at the office plus the monthly newsletter daze I'm ready to indulge myself in lakeside breezes, science fiction trips across the galaxy, live sunset paintings. Check in and see how it's going.
