The Vacation's Over

This is a busy time for us. One might think that with summer vacation ending and the hot days upon us in full force, it would be a rather lazy time. I am somewhat surprised, though, that we are as busy as we are with the girls.
There’s school that starts in a couple of weeks. We’re taking the girls to dental and eye appointments, finding clothes, enrolling girls, and generally trying to get things going so we don’t have all of that to do at the last minute.
Then there are the remnants of summer activities. One of the girls is staying with her folks for a few days. One of the girls just got back from camp. We still have classes and other activities going on here at the campus for the others.
We have much to do on campus. The garden is in full production. The grass has only recently begun to slow down its growth due to a lot of rain this spring. The trees need to have limbs trimmed, trash is ever-present on campus due to a business district next door with a McD---- there, and other repairs and projects beckon as well.
To add to all of that, for us personally, we are looking forward to helping my brother move to new digs soon. We also are working on our rental property, trying to keep up with our granddaughter, arranging our finances, and finding time for ourselves.
Yes, it may be a busy time, but I think it’s really a matter of perspective. You see, school is just a couple of weeks away. Then the vacation is over.
