Ahhh . . . Vacations

I've taken a long vacation from my blog.  I didn't realize how long until I saw the date of my last post.  I took a two week vacation in early September.  And you know what happens when you go on vacation - you have to work extra hard the weeks before and after.  So . . . no blogging. But vacations have to end sometime, so I'm back.

My vacation was wonderful.  We took a driving trip to visit friends and family.  I really needed that time away.  And I'm pleased to say that the vacation peace-of-mind is still with me.  I feel more relaxed and less stressed, even though I faced a mountain of commitments on my return.

I normally keep my blog dedicated to surface design matters and leave out the family stuff.  Please allow my small detour to show photos of our tie dye day.  Part of our vacation was spent with our grandchildren and I thought they might enjoy playing with dyes.  (Gotta start them out young, right?) Their mom came up with a great idea to make a reading tent, so we dyed several sheets.

They had a great time, although a t-shirt might have been better because of their short attention span.  I can't wait to see the finished reading tents!
