After taking an hiatus for a couple of months it is time to get back to writing. I have no excuses. In August we traveled a lot, going to Canada to visit family. We got to stay in my brother-in-law's lakehouse on beautiful Lake Huron. The weather was terrific and my sister-in-law and myself did some mountain biking and lake swimming. She almost got us lost in the woods on one ride and we actually swam a mile along the shore of this vast cool lake. Compared to our warm water in Texas it was quite a shock to the system. It reminded me of going into the Lake Fiastra waters in the Sibellini mountains near Sarnano, Italy. Very cold. We got to visit family and friends and had some memorable moments there. It was also exciting since daughter and grandson traveled with us.
It also was 'get back to work time' and this was very hectic. We also got to visit with my daughter, husband and grandson in East Texas twice in the past few months. They also came to visit us. It is so awesome to see him develop, learning new words and skills. He is a smartie and a cutie also. We took him to the Kendall County Fair and his reactions to the parade, the animals and the carnival were priceless.
I have also been busy dealing with some health issues. My back might require surgery since I have run out of other options. My swimming and cycling is at at standstill due to so much pain. That depresses me since I did that about five or six times a week in the summer. My wife had surgery in August and took some time to recover.
We are looking forward to a trip to Europe with some close friends in the summer so I need to get healthy. We have planned it out, got some of our arrangements taken care of- air travel, some accomodations, etc. It will be different for us to travel with someone else. We will spend the majority of our time in Italy and are excited to get back! The darn dollar is still a mess but we are not going to let that spoil our time. As we say in the education business- monitor and adjust!
