This summer has been . . . well, interesting. Here in Michigan, we’re still mostly locked down and our summer didn’t look like we expected at all. While we can now go to a restaurant with masks on and my son can practice soccer with his team, my swimmer can’t swim and we’re still figuring out exactly what school (and therefore my work) schedules will look like.
My promise with you has always been that I would be real. So I will. Like many, I’m struggling. It’s hard. Hard to read; hard to focus. But life has also been good. And I’m trying very hard to live there.
My daughter is healthy. And this summer despite the lack of pools, Michigan has plenty of lakes.
We had a fantastic vacation to Northern Michigan. Including a visit to Mackinac Island (with masks on for the ferry ride):
My daughter wasn’t able to get a job or swim, but she did finish her summer Spanish course, earned her driver’s permit, and started a micro cake baking business. She makes some crazy-cool things out of chocolate, cake, and frosting:
And of course if there isn’t anything else to entertain us, there’s always Brave the cat!
I’ve also read mass quantities of books in the last few months.
