Project 365: Day 149 - May 28

This girl's gone. She left bright and early Wednesday and won't be back until Saturday evening. It's lonely here without her. It's quiet too, not that she's the loud one. Somehow with one gone, despite the noise of the other three (and there's been plenty!) the house is just too quiet.

Anyway, she left with three teachers and 27 other 6th graders to go to The Mountain Institute for some hiking, climbing & caving. Whatever else they're doing I'll have to wait to find out.

She was so excited about this trip, she wore her hiking boots every day she could. I wish you could see them in this picture! They're lavender. Since when are hiking boots lavender?

Speaking of hiking boots, have I ever told you about the very first Christmas gift David gave me? Yup, hiking boots. They were nice too! I still have them. Can't bear to get rid of them even though they need to be replaced. They're light blue, which I thought was kind of way out back then - oh, twenty years ago!

Anyway, we're all looking forward to the girl's return in a couple of days. Can't wait to hear all about the trip!
