Whew! It has been a long stretch of days since we could wake without an alarm, and set our own pace for the day. Still, there was so much to do, just to catch up from our recent busy-ness, and tomorrow we are off on the road again. Today I baked cookies for Garrett’s birthday, started catching up with laundry, and tackled the most-needed housecleaning. We had to go birthday shopping, and made a special trip to the produce stand for blueberries, peaches, plums, nectarines, wax beans, and cucumbers. We had passed so many roadside stands last weekend, and I had wished we could have stopped. Now we have some of our summer favorites to hold us for awhile.
