I'm still here

I guess I haven't had much of a desire to blog lately. Life has been busy. Isabella and I had a great week away last week, which I will blog about soon, but it also feels good to be home again. Monte was so glad to have us home, he took Isabella and I out for a special day yesterday - the zoo, out to eat, a little shopping, it was a great day! In my spare time, I've been cleaning/organizing like CRAZY. It's such a good feeling to know that my curtains, rugs, etc. are all washed, which means there's less dust around, even though I'm sure nobody else would notice. I don't know what's gotten over me, but I'm thinking it has something to do with the book I'm reading, I haven't gotten very far into it, but it's full of all sorts of great information. I haven't been this ambitious about cleaning in a LONG time.

Today Isabella and I went for a long walk around town, which included a visit to Church, the Post Office, the park, and the grocery store. We came home for a quick bite to eat and then headed to the library for a while. What are we going to do when the weather turns cold?! I hope Isabella won't get too bored. It seems like there's always something to do, or somewhere to go in the summer. Although, I am a little bit ready for less busyness, I'm a homebody. We are also waiting for my newest niece or nephew to arrive. My sister went in to the hospital about midnight last night, but things slowed down, so they were considering sending her home today. I hope he or she arrives soon, because my sister has been miserable. The baby has been on her sciatic nerve for the last few weeks, and she hasn't even been able to walk, she's had to rely on friends and family to care for her almost three year old, which is taking a toll on my little niece, who just wants to be with her mom and dad.

And by the way, there were TWENTY cups of sugar in my batch of chokecherry jelly! :)
