I’m going to need the coffee extra strong today because I still have a lot of packing to do this morning for our week long camping trip. We are camping at the same state park, and in the exact same campsite, so it will feel like we never left. Except we did, and a lot happened in the two weeks. A vacation is just what I need. We have been doing these week long camping vacations with our close friends at Clear Lake State Park every year for over 15 years. We can see how much our children have grown over the years in all the pictures. If I spend too much time looking through the albums I could really get depressed that time is flying by so fast. Time doesn’t fly when I am working, and certainly not when I am doing laundry. Maybe Time knows when to go fast because you are taking pictures of the event. I am going to mess with Time by taking pictures when I am super bored. It will think I am having fun and maybe it will speed things up a bit.
