Almost September?

This nightmare started almost seven months ago, and while things have evened out somewhat, this is just not okay. But, pushing forward anyway, focusing on the house, my business, and the kids and cats. They keep saying this stupid weather will actually cool off at some point, so maybe then we'll be able to go outside. I have no idea. 

When I drive anywhere here, I just pretend it's Oregon. Not any of our Douglas-fir trees in sight, but plenty of green to look at... just ignore the tobacco fields. Gross. When I look out my kitchen window into the neighbor's yard, I pretend I'm looking at England, because of their little wooden fence and shed that's adorable. Other than that, we're taking it one day at a time. 

We're going to Florida in September... I have a writing conference and Charley and the kids will get to relax and play on the beach and tootle around while I'm in workshops. It will be a nice break from Roanoke Rapids.
