Family Time

My brother, Dale, and his wife, Elaine, are here with us from California. They have their beautiful little granddaughter, Samantha, with them. How we are enjoying their visit! (Other than being tired from all the running.) Because of course we can't miss a single moment with them while they're nearby, we have been going everywhere they go - to each of Elaine's scheduled visits to her own family in the central U.S., and to Dale's and my family as well. So it's been hectic, but hey - there's something to be said for being trapped inside a vehicle for mile after mile! You definitely have time to say everything that needs to be said, and then some.

I have a book to edit, chapters of my own to write, some bookmark designs to work on, and a house that needs attention. But you tell me: What's more important right now ... spending time with my family or doing the "duty" stuff? I get first vote, and I say family wins every time!
