i just brought josh back to camp in bozrah for the last time this summer, camp ends on tuesday. i have driven 90 miles each round trip. he has been home one day a week since school got out. he has become more mature, responsible, lost weight, gained muscle, made friends and made money. all in all..... it was worth it i think.

what gives a person character really?
hard work
strong love
respect of others

i am proud of my boy for the work he has done this summer and i hope that it helps him in the coming school year
i do dread it....but it is inevitable

today we will be playing with storage spaces, clearing them out to save some money.... if we finish by the end of the month we can both close them out and save a few hundred dollars.

it is 9:30am on saturday and we have a window of about 6 hours to play with.
i hope that we get something good accomplished.
it is a beautiful day and not too hot yet as well
the sun is shining and not a cloud in the sky
i am able to look around here and feel at peace. not peace like when i am at the shore or more especially at the cape... but still, i think i am infusing the cape into my home life and picturing the peace that the cape brings me
i do love being in rhode island but honestly the cape has my heart.... and i am not sure why.
it is the comfort of years i think
the comfort of having gone to the cape for 27 years and knowing alot of the towns near the tip of the cape like the back of my hand
and the fact that i know a few people who live there, and i can connect with them when i come to visit.
maybe in time i will have the same love for RI
