I went to Hawaii with a few friends at the beginning of last month. It was my first time there and I really enjoyed it. Pearl Harbor and the memorials and museums the atmosphere there is indescribable. And, the Volcano National Park was a lot of fun. I really had a great time hiking through rain forest to get to the volcano crater and then walking across it and seeing the steam still coming out of a few places.

Next up for me in DC/Virginia in three weeks for my cousin’s wedding. I’m hoping to sneak in a drive down to Georgia to visit with some friends since I’ll be on the East Coast.

Off to DC in a little over two weeks at National. Other than that, nada. Though, it will be great since I’ll also get to see my old stomping grounds when not at workshops, etc.

Hubby went to Jersey with the grandkids this weekend and is due home tonite. Usually we go for the week, but #2 Daughter was home from college for the week and is going back Sat so I stayed here with her. She and I are going to NYC to see Rock of Ages on Thurs, home Fri and then to SPAC to see Poison and Deff Leppard, then she heads back to LA on Sat.

Next month I am going to Readercon in MA for a day or so, mainly because our con-Albacon- offered to run the hospitality suite for a meal. Our GOH is going to be there and we felt someone from our con should be there to greet and say hi. Haven’t told hubby yet.

This Aug the kids will be up to Lake George for a week and I am taking time off from work so I will probably drive up everyday to play with the twins. Hopefully hubby can get the time off too.

I have too much work I want done around the house to take a big vaca, but that is ok since it will be worth it.

Going to DC for Nationals. Other than that saving for next years vacation to celebrate 25 years of marriage. Probably a cruise or if I can stand the long flight St. Lucia.

Since I just got back from being gone for two & a half weeks that is my planned travel for the summer. The trip was planned around my oldest daughter’s graduation with her Masters in Accounting from the University of Oregon. The trip was fun, being at her graduation was wonderful. I also got to see my granddaughter’s 5th grade promotion and her performance in Beauty and the Beast for her school play. She had two small parts in the production. I visited good friends in Sisters, Oregon which is in the Cascade Mountains a beautiful small town. My friends have known me since I was 15 & kept telling everyone I met at their house that they had known me for 53 years!! It was rodeo weekend and they host a big gathering of family & friends for the event. It was so much fun. I got to see 3 or their 4 adult children that I have known since they were born. I was their baby sitter!! Enough to make a person feel old!!! The trip also took me to the Medford area where I visited my brother & then cousins. There was not enough time to connect with everyone in the Medford area as some had to much else going on in their busy lives. Such is life. Maybe next time.

Janelle if you and the family have not been to Sisters and the Bend area it is beautiful country. I went from the Eugene/Springfield area over the Santiam to Sisters, what a beautiful drive. I loved every mile of it and especially the lack of traffic!! I came home to weather that is starting to cool down a bit. Every time I am in Oregon I fall in love with it all over again. It is a wonderful state.
Have a good day to all.
