rachel's continued ramblings

Halfway through the book means halfway through the year! Sunday: Father's Day! Dave's one request for the day was going to see the new Incredibles movie. It was good, but not better than the first. Monday: The weather has been pretty decent recently, which means the lawn isn't getting naturally watered. Tuesday: Last day of school!!!!! (Finally.) Wednesday: Starting my first day of summer break the right way. Thursday: Somewhat of an impulse buy. I decided to try out a Kindle again. I had one several years ago and I hated it. But things have improved somewhat, and with our upcoming trip, I decided it might be wise to be able to bring a lot of books without bringing a lot of books. Friday: And it's been commandeered. Saturday: We took a trip to Kat and Cole's to visit and borrow their tent trailer for our trip. And the spread...

So, in preparation for our upcoming road trip, one of the things I've been thinking about is wanting to blog our adventures and have a place to dump pictures, and all of that, AND to be able to do it all from my phone so I don't have to worry about uploading and stuff like that that may be difficult to do from the road and/or various campgrounds. That was a heinous run-on sentence. So my fabulous IT guy (Dave) got a new site set up for me and managed to pull all my old posts from blogger over, too! I'll, no doubt, have to do a bit of housekeeping and figure out where all of my stuff is and what other stuff I want there, but for now, I have a new venue with a phone app and I'll be able to do what I need to do. Departure is less than a week a way now. Our "tenement on wheels" (borrowed tent trailer) is currently parked in the driveway. I have "to buy", "to pack", and "to do" lists going. We are getting ready to live on the road for
