Folding the vacation tent

We're coming down to the wire here on the vacation. We got off track a few times, but also realized that shifting from jobs where we both basically work hard all day to check off the day's To Do list and then taking a vacation with the same plan wasn't working too well. All work and no play....

We've had a nice balance of work and play (mostly shopping). Mike is getting the front yard re-seeded today. Carol cleaned out a few cabinets and sent some bags to the landfill, and stacked up some cookbooks to donate to a charity book sale. I really don't need the 1983 Southern Living annual cookbook....but I did find some old favorites. My goal is to reduce the cookbook shelf space by half, and it's looking like I'll get there. The dog food reserve is re-established, although it could be bigger.

So it's back to work tomorrow. It's good to be caught up on our sleep, and breaking out of our usual routine was SO nice. I'm also so glad we avoided the hassel of traveling anywhere. We've enjoyed the nice weather for eating meals on our deck.

No point in visiting the mountains yet - no color. So - we postponed that trip for a week. No real excitement - just a laid-back peek at retirement living!
