A Manic Month

At least the hounds are relaxed (most of the time)
Saturday - May 31, 2014

Better to be busy than bored but ... we have been going flat out all month and it doesn't look like we'll return to a normal rhythm until June 27.  Yes - June 27.  Joe's May 5 trip to DC initiated this manic period and over the next 4 weeks he and I will be continuing a very unusual schedule where we are alternating travel back and forth.  It's probably one of the oddest intervals we've had in many many years!   Highlights have included Megan and me traveling east for Jonathan's Virginia Tech graduation, seeing my sister Rachel in Blacksburg,  and Joe and Jonathan's current midwest Major League Baseball 9 ballpark tour. Upcoming events include the end of my school year (and perhaps a resumption of restorative sleep patterns!), another east coast trip to help move Jonathan into his Arlington apartment and to see Joe's mom, and then seeing Megan off on her summer travels to Kyoto.  With all of this commotion, I am marking my calendar for the 2 days and 3 nights that the 4 of us will be all together here in our perch on the hill.  One of the kids will be camping out on the living room couch as we cram into the apartment but it's precious time.  We'll savor it!
