The family gathering went well on Saturday, although we could have had better weather. It was a bit humid. I sent each family home with a bottle of organic blood orange Italian soda.
Sunday, I never got the chance to even lift one of my library books.

Weekend Travel
The reason my laundry was up before the sunrise last Friday? A college campus tour. After traveling 260 miles round trip and paying $12.50 in road toll fees, we are pretty sure our next child will be attending college there.
The Hubs drove. Need I say more? If my brother and sister-in-law were driving behind us, they would have been gasping.
On our way home, we passed an A & W drive-in. Remember those? We had one in our home town growing up. We passed it, Hubby pulled off the road, then pulled a "Dukes of Hazard" straight across all lanes of traffic, and up (yes, up) the the entrance to the drive-in. Needless to say, any projectiles in the car went flying. People were staring at us. I was shrinking in my seat and trying to recover, and make sure we were still all okay. So after that, I really needed a weekend off.

We went camping.

No Babies Yet ~ Homesteading Tidbits
I started my day out with some homemade hot ginger tea. The stress here has been at it's highest. And it's not Hubby.

It's Moving Day
The sunrise was absolutely gorgeous this morning. The fog was layered out of the east and northeast.
As the hour passed, the fog moved inward, dispersing thicker before starting to disappear. The chill in the air is, what I call, "camping weather." It's just cold enough to want to curl up in a hoodie or jacket, and sit around a warm campfire enjoying nature. I love it!
