Not on Vacation

We are not on vacation.

First, this is true because Billy is still going to work every day.

Second, it is true because we are still keeping up with various church activities.

Third, it is true because -- even in a tent -- we have to keep house ... we still have a home and a home has to be tended.

It is very difficult for Billy to leave every morning. The area is beautiful. It is relaxing -- in spite of the rain and the noise. It makes going to the cubical farm very difficult.

We have not been at the campground on the weekends because of various obligations at church. There was one Saturday event we could have skipped -- except that the list of things we needed to accomplish to run a home was also long: Visit the storage unit, collect mail, buy Shelbie's Abady dog food from Utter Brothers Feed Store, visit the BaklaJava coffee shop.

I'm still doing laundry. I'm still attempting to organize our stuff and keep it in order. If it ever ever stops raining, I'll probably learn to use the little camp stove and at least make coffee. I'm still tending to the dog. (Even more so now since she cannot be left unattended.) And I'm still attempting to work on my various art projects.

I think I might be out doing more sight seeing if I had my driver's license. More than likely, I'd just be traveling to more places to find more Internet options. But this is certainly another conversation for another post.
