Running Away !!!
Well, tomorrow I am running away (with my family's permission of course!) Sometimes in the busyness of life...I just need to get away...by myself for more than and hour or two. I've picked somewhere that will take less than two hours to get to and has water, seafood, a place to read, good speakers that give awesome talks and thrift shopping and antiquing......it is supposed to rain...but that doesn't even matter to me......more tomorrow or when I return......Does the picture give you a hint as to where I am going?
This is a quote from a movie I saw a while back. I wrote down the quote and forget which movie it came from...anyway....here it is!
"My father used to say, "Mind the Gap." It's the distance between life as you dream it and life as it is!"

A Perfect Day at the Beach
We had a perfect day at the Beach. Our choice location was Indian River in DE. The kite surfers were out and they were fun to watch. We were also close to a marina and could walk down to see the boats come in. It was a great day for fishing and a lot of fishermen were catching sea bass and we even saw a beautiful flounder being reeled in! It was a little windy in the afternoon but we all decided that we would take wind over rain any day!
Lala, Abby and my sister Bev.
Yes, I proved that I still had it in me to ride the waves....even though ....little did I know within a matter of minutes I'd be eating sand with that stupid boogy board smashing me in the face!
I guess it was all worth it! It had been a long time since I had jumped waves with my daughter!Breakfast at Perkins and stopping for dinner at Bob Evans helped to break up the long drive.
A great day for making memories!

Spider Bite!
Someday our dog will learn not to play with Spiders. This is what happens when you try to eat one!
First the swelling...
Then the hives
This was not a fun experience as the vet put her on prednisone and it made her super hyper and hungry ALL the time!
Summer vacation has been going fast! Tomorrow we are going on a quick day trip to the beach. It's about a three hour drive...so it's a lot of driving for one day....but it should still be fun. The weather has been absolutely beautiful today. I count it as an extra special blessing!

Homeschoolers: Testers Paid???
Just a question for my homeschooling xanga friends. I have been asked to proctor a test for an individual who is homeschooled. I'm sure this would vary from state to state...but what is the going rate for a certified teacher who is giving an achievement test? Let me know if you have any thoughts. If you would rather E-mail me...you can do that at Fmartin816 (at) comcast (dot) net.
Thanks!
