Time is stampeding past me


It's the last day of July already. Summer is more than half gone, the year is more than half gone, and I am far behind where I want to be.

This post is mainly a test to see if I can add a photo to a post instead of just at the bottom of the blog page. This is a photo of the fireworks in Washington, DC. We got what we thought was a great spot to view the fireworks, but there was very little breeze, and what there was blew the smoke in our direction, so we had the worst view of the fireworks we've ever had. Afterwards we couldn't get back to our car (long story), and we ended up walking at least 3 miles (possibly as many as 5) to my niece's apartment. Her husband then drove my husband back to the Pentagon where our car was parked. By the time we left for home, traffic was light.

It was a lovely walk along the river, though, even if it was a long one. DC is beautiful at night.

A First for Me

I've never been a blogger. I've occasionally considered it, but it was one of those things that didn't seem particularly necessary to my life until I had to create an account to view my son's blog. So now I am entering the world of blogging, and we'll see where things go from here.
