ok, so i have been alone since may 30, and i am tired of this madness..........i miss my husband and my child, and cannot imagine another 4 weeks without him while he is in belgium.....at least he will blog on a reg.basis while he is away...........the good news is that i have had a fairly good stretch with the 2 children that remained at home......just the business of the sunken boat and the dock as blotches on our permanent record...........i have 4 full days til i leave for denver.......so many things to do...today i made 9 gallons of gazpacho...and will make 10 dz. lavender shortbread cookies before i leave tonight........tomorrow has a whole list of it's own...........
