I...Glad to hear that your son is safe and settled. I agree with Ann's comment about getting adult children"launched." Seems the older our kids get - the bigger their problems are and the less able we are to help them - at least that is where I'm at right now. I am so sorry to hear about your hand. I must have missed that post. Hope you heal up quickly. I love the link to the book outlet. I will be checking that out more closely soon. Sorry to get so behind on my blog reading. Enjoy your weekend. (Also, I enjoyed reading your review of Refining Fire, and totally agree with you. My three out of five stars would be close to your 6.5 out of ten stars so we were pretty close.

I'd've never thought bike riding would be safe for its healing, but you've managed it :-) How fun to do a family fun ride in your son's new city. Hope it goes well for him in his studies and new life with roomies at their new place.<br /><br />I know the relief of surviving crazy traffic and near-misses (why do we call it that??).

Glad caffeine helped the transition and that your son's move-in went well and he's got good roommates. How fun that you got to have a family bike ride! That highway sounds crazy. We have a few like that in the US - makes for a very tense stretch of a trip. Glad you made it through that ok!Barbara H.http://barbarah.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-85671311093999917262015-08-07T06:32:36.766-06:002015-08-07T06:32:36.766-06:00Dave and I and our girls back when they were reall...Dave and I and our girls back when they were really little and we had a pop up camper drove for a little ways on the QE outside of Niagara Falls Canada. We were scared to death!! (and keep in mind we are used to BOSTON traffic!! lol) That was one scary, fast paced highway. But one thing that struck me about Canada was how pristine it is....we saw NO litter along the highways. Quite impressive (this was back in 2002). Yay for your boy getting into housing with friends and for the biking you got to do. HUGE blessing for you. And yay for Paris!!!! Is she on a vacation or is this because of work? I cannot get through the first half of my day without a couple of mugs of good strong coffee :) Enjoy the weekend!!!!!Faithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06608258814596465122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-43714119590130909742015-08-07T02:01:25.284-06:002015-08-07T02:01:25.284-06:00Nice to hear that your hand is getting better !

And while I LOVE my job, it felt good to be reckless with my schedule.<br /><br />Hurray for a healing hand and a bike ride to enjoy with your favorite man.<br /><br />I hope you able to get rest this weekend and start next week with more energy and a lesser need for caffeine.Susanhttp://fruitfulwords.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28854403.post-10303950633633468682015-08-07T00:05:20.492-06:002015-08-07T00:05:20.492-06:00I've never driven (or ridden on) the QEII, but...I've never driven (or ridden on) the QEII, but if you don't like the traffic there, don't come to LA! We braved several LA freeways on Sunday and will need to do it again on Saturday. Not my favorite part of a trip or celebration.<br />Your bike rides sound so so inviting!Willowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02912030095491960175noreply@blogger.com
