I came home exhausted from our first day at the summer writing institute! My girls were packing to travel, last minute, to Hilton Head to see their aunt and cousins. Banana bread was in the oven - a thank you gift for my sister. Laundry was fluffing - a last minute load for Grace. Rachel returned from Target with a bathing suit - she had left her other one in Atlanta. Oh, and Lindsey, Grace's friend, was shadowing both girls like a puppy that knows she will soon be left at home. We packed up the car; I recovered some beach chairs from the garage, along with a boogie board for body surfing and stuffed them in the trunk next to their luggage. After hugs, off my girls went, hands waving, smiles on their faces - ready for their adventure.
Funny, I felt lost once my girls left...then I went inside and started writing.
