Beautiful Carolina

These three are off on a camping trip in the mountains--Table Rock. And thank God, Michael is there to take care of all their needs, keep them safe. He's one of the most patient people I know. I'd wanted to make a retreat with Dagny before she went off to college, and it may still happen, but this camping trip couldn't come at a better time for both of them. Work can be a grind even when we're grateful for it.

 

As for me, it affords more time to pray, read, and write. I want to get my historical novel ship-shape. I never, ever get tired of being home alone--I will clean house, take care of the pets and plants, and not give a thought to meal preparation with all these garden goodies and more on the way! What a blessed writing life!!! I've always been so grateful to stay at home with my kids and even now, as they fly the nest. God go with them.

I'll revisit this post again, just to get the uplifting breeze beneath the wings. Lovely. May your home writing retreat be just as sweet.

Thank you Mirka. I know the pictures will be few once Dagny flies away too...

Love seeing beach photos! Happy writing retreat!

What does Dagny want to study at college?

Thank you Barb. I could look at these pictures all day long and not get any writing done. Dagny is leaning toward biology right now.
