Flying South
Like many of the birds I so enjoy watching, I am flying south. Not for the winter -- just for a week. I leave at oh-dark-thirty tomorrow morning and will be without internet, lattes and other creature comforts. I can't wait!
This time, I'm better prepared for the bugs that find me so darned tasty. My new wardrobe includes no Donna Karan but a lovely ensemble from Bug-Off brand clothing. And instead of Pure Grace, my usual fragrance, I'll be wearing eau de Jungle Juice. This year, I hope to lose the contest for getting the most bug bites (last year, upon my arrival home, Neil had to drive me straight from the airport to the doctor for a cortisone shot!) instead of winning it.
Jen Robinson mentioned one of my recent blog entries in which I celebrate some of the good things I've seen happen lately. Here's one more thing to celebrate: some generous reader of this blog donated $200 to our team! Thanks to that donation, and others, we'll be able to buy supplies and materials for the people whose homes we'll be rebuilding. And I already have the can't-sleep-Christmas-Eve-wiggleworms knowing that 150 kids at Pointe aux Chenes school will be getting all those wonderful books, donated by Scholastic.
Now, I really do have to get packed. I'll meet you here when I get back!
