I have taken a little bit of a break over the past few weeks from writing, but now it is time to get back into it. It has been a tough summer. Yes, it is hot and the dog days are here, but I am talking about things in my family.
This tough summer has been tough beacuse of all that has been happening. In the last few weeks, my wife and I have had one daughter graduate college, one daughter gradute high school, and the same college graduate daughter get married. All of that in just a few weeks.
As a result, my time for writing has been scaled back. Now it is time to get back in the saddle.
As for the college graduate, she is doing fine. She has been hired by the local school district and will be a fourth grade teacher when school starts in a few weeks. Ironically, she will be working at the same elementary school she started school in sixteen years ago when we moved here.
As for the high school graduate, she will be attending college here in a few weeks. She will be building on her music skills in pursuit of a music degree.
And the bride, well it is all done. They are married and settling into their new home. One thing I do not worry about with them is their finances. They have a sound direction on how to manage their money.
So, while I thought the rest of summer would be easy, now my wife and I have to see where we can start cutting the budget…..
