I am never going to get back into the swing of this, but I am forgiving myself for it. I have such grand self-improvement plans: I’m going to exercise; I’m going to read a little each day; I’m going to be creative for a bit each day; I’m going to …… you see how this goes. I’m really doing pretty well to keep myself fed and clean.

Anyway, let’s get caught up. The summer session ended on Thursday. I cut myself a lot of slack this summer since everything was so off-kilter. I was sad to see some of my students go, but it was time for them to move on. We have some work days until the new session begins on Wednesday, and I’m trying to put them to good use. Friday I worked in the morning then ran some errands in Lincoln. In the evening we caught up with some of the Ireland crew and had a good time recalling our adventures.

Saturday I helped Deborah drop off a car at the airport in Omaha for her girls to use when they returned from a trip. I always like Omaha and we stopped at a couple of places to look around. We would have shopped more but I was so sleepy.

Sunday was re-installation day at church and then we went to Lincoln with the Other Sommerers to see Hamilton! It was fun seeing it with people who were just as excited and also knew all the lyrics. Lloyd and I sat with Sam and Rachel, and Gracen and Anna were up in the balcony. It was so different seeing it in person – the soundtrack or tv doesn’t shake your seat with sound. I loved the whole thing.

Today Lloyd starts his school year. My prayer is that this is a good year for us all, you included!

1. What is a “re-installation day”?

2. Isn’t Hamilton absolutely wonderful?! Anna and I were lucky enough to see it 4 times when it was in Chicago on for a few years (thank you lottery!). During the 4th time I still had goosebumps all through the first act. I knew the magic was still there.

3. I hope your new school year starts off great! We have such a late start compared to you. I’m only just starting to think about my new school year.

4. I’ve been thinking about this post a lot. You should have titled it “Sommererizing some days.” Missed opportunity…

We are back from Phil’s funeral. It is good to have that part done. It was great to see family, even though the reason was so sad. We came to Dad’s in waves – first our car, then Mark, Rachel and Matthew, then Keren and Kurt, and then Charlie. (Nephew Jacob couldn’t come – he […]

Huh. Remember when something interesting happened and I still didn’t write posts? I envy Bard for his stick-to-it-ness where he writes something every day. Now, looking back on the trip, I don’t really know how to start. My guess is that things will sneak in every now and then – whenever I get to this […]

One of the things I was interested in doing was going to Irish grocery stores. We went many times, but I was never alone so I wasn’t able to stare at products for hours on end. (I may have a problem.) Anyway, it was fun. The selection of all the things was similar but different […]

I have started to throw my photos onto Facebook so my Dad can see them, so if we’re not Facebook friends, we’ll need to fix that. I think I’ll just write about some topics. For today’s thoughts: traveling. The flights were not terrible for me. I had spoken to my doctor about getting some anxiety […]

We are home! It was so tricky posting from Ireland because the signal wasn’t always very strong and I was trying to type on a little iPhone. Right now I’m running into frustrations about moving photos around. I’ll just type. Our first few days were spent exploring Dublin and going north to the Giant’s Causeway. […]
