Back to Normal.....whatever that is!

Just got back from vacationing at Topsail Beach, NC. It's a little area on a small island below Wilmington, NC that's just perfect! Very little commercialization, blue water, clean sandy beaches, slow-paced, easy-to-walk-around kinda place. You oughta go sometime! We had a nice time. This is our second year there. We shared a little house with some friends who just 'happened' upon this place that's not outrageous in price, and it's settled just 200 yards between ocean and inlet - the best of both worlds!

Now we're hitting the ground running with LOTS to do, and ready to settle in with our wonderful church family. Sigh. God is good. And to top it all off -- just One and a half weeks and the girls are back in school! (SMILE!)

Tomorrow Emily and I get to go to Holiday World in Southern Indiana with the Sheridan Blackhawks band (which Katie is Marching with this year as a 'guard' girl). It's s'posed to be a beautiful day....hot, humid, chance of isolated thunderstorms. Oooooooh, can't wait. (NOT!) I'd probably be a bit more excited, 'cept I had a bit much caffeine and sugar on the way home last night and after getting in at 11:30 and settling in to my own bed (THERE"S NO PLACE LIKE HOME.....) I laid awake about all night -- eyes wide open. Silly me. Now I feel brain dead, but I have lots of work to do........ another sigh.

I will post some pictures later of Topsail -- you'll be booking your flights immediately, I'm sure.
