I am "camping" until Labor Day. I place camping in quotation marks because technically, I can’t be camping because school starts this week and I am working, etc.

So, in reality, my family (husband, kids, in-laws, out-laws, and even my mom last night) are camping. I’m just showing up once in a while as I go about my normal routine. The biggest problem is trying to carry on normal life without Internet service. Everything I do requires me to log on, and it gets hard to log on without even dial up service.

And for possible thieves looking for vacant homes…unlike Shelley, I really do have a great big dog and yes, he is home, along with three other ones including Stupid Dog. It also means we’re home a lot feeding them. So, technically, the house isn’t really vacant. Especially since the whole thing about me going on with my normal life requires frequent showers. ;0)

And this means I’ve been camping for something like four or five weekends in a row. Now you know why I haven’t been blogging.

I tried (lots and lots of times) to upload the video of Steve and I plunging to the Earth, but it will not work. I have given up. But if you see me, I have it on my laptop. Remind me and you too can be enthralled and awed. Thanks for playing.
