At long last, hello from Idaho.

What a crazy summer this has been!  Things didn't go exactly as planned.  Mostly they did, with one big GLARING exception:  my husband ended up in the hospital...in Minneapolis...after his flight from Tokyo to Washington D.C. diverted due to his medical emergency...which meant I spent a week in Minneapolis visiting him in the hospital and staying with my best friend from high school while my kids were at the beach with their cousins in a fabulous beach house that I found and was dying to stay at AND I missed my daughter's birthday.

I could go on but I suppose the details would be boring.  And, in case you haven't noticed, I'm a bit out of practice with blogging.

I don't think I've taken a single picture since returning to the States.  (Not on a real camera anyway.  To me, camera phone pictures don't count.)

School starts next week (yeah!) so I am looking forward to some quiet time.  I might blog again.  I might not.  I'll try to let you know.
