A Full Week

This was the last one for awhile. It went well though...I didn't feel maxed out which is a surprise. Next week will be lighter as two of my eight classes are in Bath, England. After that I will be working Monday and then my parent leave starts. I wouldn't have know to ask for it if it had not been our friend Peter who gave us the tip. Thanks!

This means I will have a full week off from work, and we combined it with fall break, so in total I will have two whole weeks off! We will spend most of it at the cottage.

It was great to be there this weekend. We were undecided as to whether or not we would make the journey because Abigail has a cold. Lots of trouble breathing due to a stuffy nose. I guess I passed that one along to her...whoops. The weather was so nice on Friday that we couldn't stay here. Luckily it continued through Saturday. We went for a nice long walk and enjoyed the patio thoroughly. Even got a bit sunburnt!

On Wednesday I finally had a chance for a bit of writing again...

Eventually Jerry skidded to a halt under a shady grove of trees. Tim dizzily exited the car while Jack and Johanna decoupled themselves from the roll bar and gingerly hopped over the tailgate. The grove of trees was large, but they could already hear the rushing sound of flowing water. 

They grabbed everything they needed out of the cab that didn't lock and took the short walk under the strangely tall canopy. What opened up before them was nothing short of a tropical paradise...
