I have been so engrossed in watching the Olympics that I have neglected my blogging. However, I am not nearly as big a fan of the track and field events as I am of other events, so I will probably be back a little more this week.
Saturday, I gave my house a cleaning from top to bottom as well. Yesterday, I paid for it. I hurt all over when I got up. Feeling better today, though.
Today is library day. I will go as soon as they open to try to beat the heat. I always enjoy my trips to the library. There is just something magical walking into a place where I am surrounded by books of all kinds. Books have been one of my great loves all my life. I can now read them online; however, there is just something about actually holding the book in my hands that still has much more appeal.
I read every page, including the copyright page, the acknowledgement pages, the dedication page in addition to the contents. Call me anal; it's just how I am. I savor every single thing about a book and its author.
Holly, Bevan and the girls are taking one last "mini-vacation" before school begins. Holly has business in Jackson, Mississippi, next Monday. Then she has to be in Destin, Florida, on Wednesday. They are driving to Jackson next Sunday; then on to Florida on Tuesday. Destin is right on the beach, so they will stay the rest of the week, enjoying cooler temperatures and the beach.
Then, it's back to reality as school starts a week after they return. Taylor is deep into college now in Salt Lake. I hope he can adjust to the pace of his schedule. By having trimesters instead of semesters and having the kids go to school from 8 to 5 everyday, this school crams four years into 21/2 years. He reports that he even has assignments due on Saturday and Sunday, which he turns in via e-mail.
He is smart enough to handle it; I just hope he has the maturity to handle it. Keeping my fingers crossed to see how this first trimester goes. I sent him an e-mail yesterday encouraging him, reminding him that he can stand anything for 2 1/2 years; and that then, he will have his dream education in video game design, which has been what he has wanted to do since he was in grammar school.
