Whew! It has been a busy couple of weeks at my house. Wrapping up the school year has been busy for my youngest two kids but we made it. Girl-child graduated middle school with honors and will be moving up to high school next year. Youngest boy-child  did well and will be an eighth grader next year. Oldest boy-child will be starting at the local community college in the fall.  I just want to say for the record that I am WAY too young to be the mother of a college student. I don’t know what happened.

The next few days will be spent with us preparing to go on vacation next week plus the kiddos are involved in some activities so things don’t show a lot of signs of slowing down for a bit.

I recently acquired a part time job plus it is beginning to look like I will be going back to school very soon. If not later this summer then definitely in the fall. 

I am still reading though not as quickly as I would like. Currently, I am about 3/4 of the way through The Forgotten Man: A New History of the Great Depression. It has been a fascinating book with striking parallels to the current economic situation in our country. However, it’s very information-dense(either that, or I am dense) so I have been taking it slow.

I am also about 1/3 of the way through Beside a Burning Sea. So far I have really enjoyed it but I am making slow progress because I haven’t had much time to sit down and read. The only reason I am making progress on The Forgotten Man is because it’s an audio book.

How is your summer shaping up?
