We live in a society where high school graduation is celebrated but is also a given these days. Emphasis is instead place on the awards, the honors, the scholarships, the highest test scores. And those are wonderful accomplishments which absolutely merit accolades. But there are no awards given for perseverance….for enduring years during middle school
Month: May 2021
Today was our last full day on the coast. Rain is forecast as we are leaving tomorrow so I made a point to get up in time to see the sunrise. I sat out on the balcony for a long while and then came back inside and read while everyone slept in….I eventually dozed back
Although I got a later start than planned and didn’t get up until around 7:30, it was a beautiful, sunny, breezy day. After everyone got up and about, we headed into Old Town Bay St. Louis and visited a couple of antique shops and went to a bookstore in Pass Christian. Shoutout to the Magnolia
I set an alarm to get an early start and enjoyed some time on the balcony before everyone else was awake. It was a slightly breezy and cool morning and I had my coffee and read a book as the sun rose. We had decided one of our activities on this trip was to visit
Although we are notorious for late starts on trips, we got off right on time this morning and were pulling out of the driveway at 5:15 a.m. We hit the road after picking up my mom and making stops for ice and breakfast at the Golden Arches. The drive down through Arkansas and down Mississippi
Tomorrow morning we will leave on our first post pandemic vacation. Our first trip to any destination other than the cabin in well over a year. Our first vacation with my mom. Her first vacation without my dad. The first vacation we have boarded our dogs (and Sarah’s diabetic cat). We all have been vaccinated
