It is so hard to know--there are such risks! Last summer I said, "Okay sure" to lots of things that wound up horrible for me. This year, I said, "Okay sure," to us all going to Rome and Ron working there for seven weeks. As the time approached, I thought, "This is such a potential disaster! Ron working--what am I going to do?? What if the kids are a mess, out of the country--do I have the energy for this??" And I can assure you that I did NOT have the energy for the move overseas. That was a real low point--and I will spare you the nasty details.
But here we are in paradise. The kids all have playmates, I am alone in a villa and vineyard, watching the sunset and drinking the organic wine made on this very acreage. I have only been here 24 hours and it is looking VERY GOOD for all 7 of us.
Imagine--I might have said no to this!
And yet I did not say no to last summer's schedule!
You just never know.
Oh wow! You are already there! I guess I will send your birthday card any way and you will get it when you return! :) Have fun and relax in God's beautiful land there! Take lots of pics for me! p.s.Thanks for the return of the CD player! We had no idea where it was!
