So many of my friends are looking for ideas for 'stay-cations' this year that I thought I should offer my local activity books as a resource
Many years ago, as part of our homeschool adventures (actually more like car-school!), my boys and I rambled over many of the backroads of our local area. We researched and read.... we wandered over battlefields and through little local museums.... and we created puzzles and drawings and lists of things to look for.
These books are full of local trivia and little-known facts....
I have created a storefront on one of my pages above - so let me know if you are interested in any of the books.
(I have about half of them up so far. I ran out of time! But I will get the rest up in the next day or so.)
Thanks for looking!

wow - it's been a while!
I apologize to my friends for my lack of communication!
It's been a year that I've been mostly hanging in space. And a year before that of waffling around.... Now it's official.... I am 6 months into an empty nest.
And I am just now regaining my footing!
After 30 years of being a homeschooling mom with a homeworking spouse.... I find that I am still 'on call' for..... well.... nobody.
And it's actually good. Because it is WAY past time for me to locate my own self :-)
At any rate, I am finding that my energy levels are creeping back. I am finding a little air wafting through the upper reaches of my brain... some signs of life, perhaps?
I will write more later.. I mean, I DID have an adventure or two over the last year.... I AM still making progress on the health front.... and, of course, I am still crafting :-)
And, as always, I think my journey is not a solo one. I think that many many women - perhaps men too - wake up one day and wonder whose life they are living anyway :-) It's a journey.... but I did not expect it to be so long or drag so badly..... but the good news is... that life is picking up and I am dreaming again.
I hope you are too. After all, what we do today DOES lay the foundation for tomorrow - so smile, find a happy moment... . and keep on truckin'
