Summer Fun....

June was an exceptionally busy month, and though I'm happy to be home. I find myself still away "in my dreams" Maybe that's the best way to handle the reality I'm having to face right now.
We started June with a Carnival Cruise to Jamaica and Cayman Islands. I never knew or expected what freedom the ocean would bring. I loved every minute of it. Fantastic food, entertainment and most of all the serene peaceful moments I experienced...just daydreaming and sitting under the sky on the top deck. I met a Jamaican Spice Lady and brought home some geniune Jamaican spices that I've yet to try in some recipes. I'm ready to go on another cruise now and am already looking for maybe a December cruise. We were stranded for 2 days in Ft. Lauderdale on the way back and though I call it stranded, we stayed at a nice motel with an awesome floridian setting poolside. So I guess all in all, it wasn't too bad being stranded. :)
The following week after arriving from the cruise, it was time to go to the family reunion. Where we spent 12 excessively hot days. This heat called for lots of beer drinking, water fun and misters under the awnings. But even with temps over 100 degrees every day, I enjoyed spending precious time with my family members. I miss waking up and drinking coffee with everyone.
I thought that July might be boring compared to June but it's becoming apparent very quickly that it's going to be another busy month. I landed a part time assignement that will probably take between a month or two, and also have a possible opportunity to buy that restuarant I've always wanted. There's still details to be figured out there, it's a dream I've always had but without really knowing what career leads my husband is coming to, I can't say nothing is for certain right now. Anyway, Chelsea and I are heading for a big 4th at David and Connie's. Out to Elk Park for fireworks and then the pond at their place for some beer drinking and water fun on the pond.
Well, just wanted to catch everyone up on what's been happening with me. Maybe sometime soon I can actually write something again.
