Islands and cherries and cell phones. Oh my.
So, I'm back from vacation. Not only am I back, but, as of yesterday evening, there's a phone and internet at home again!
My mum, sister and I took a week to go up to Prince Edward Island (of "Anne of Green Gables" fame) and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. Well, the last two days were less enjoyable activity-wise, as the rain decided to pour, but the company was still good. When I am done editing my photos, I will upload them onto Deviant and share the linkies here. I even feel confident enough to say that a few are quite nice.
Anyway, my sister and I are already planning the next trip up, this time with our families. It'll be a very different dynamic, but the scenery will be worth it. Also, it won't be for another two years, as that's when she'll be graduating.
Meanwhile, I'm planning a trip with my family up to Bar Harbor next summer. I wasn't impressed with it the first time I was there, but this time... Wow. It's beautiful. I still object to the title of "Mount" in the island's name (Mt. Desert), because it is most definitely only a hill, but that no longer detracts from its beauty for me.
So, I have lots of saving up to do. *nods*
Meanwhile, I have been gorging on cherries. Probably because I'm in withdrawal from the cheatings I did on vacation (total disregard for dairy intolerance or sugar restrictions; I was good about gluten, though), or maybe just because it's summer and fruit tastes good in the summer. As do vegetables. Far better than meat in the heat.
Also, I have finally joined the 21st century: I now have a cell phone. It's going to be pretty much an emergency cell phone, but, well... It's not even a dumb phone (which is what I wanted). I hope it's worth it.
And... that's that. Need to go move the laundry along and start thinking about what will be for dinner.
Hope all of you are well.
