Shore Leave 2024 will take place July 26th-28th at the Wyndham Lancaster Resort and Convention Center in Lancaster, PA. This is different from past years but I'm looking forward to checking out the new location. Besides, Hershey, PA is in striking distance - what's not to like?
Below is my schedule for Shore Leave this year. If you're in the area, come check it out! I'd love to meet you.
As I type this I'm sitting in my oldest son's home in South Carolina. My husband Don and I are taking a few days to visit with him and his precious family.
There's his wife Amanda, who is the best daughter-in-law I could ask for. She and John make us feel welcome and she does all kinds of sweet things to make us comfortable. Just one example: even though she doesn't drink coffee, she bought a Keurig coffeemaker for me and her parents so we can have coffee when we're here.
Of course, there are the grandbabies, though "babies" is misleading. Lavinia is six and has just completed kindergarten. Her brother Matthias is four. They are both adorable and the high point of our visit here, and certainly two of the most wonderful children in the world (yes, I am biased).
We've had a great time so far this trip. While I intend to continue my writing streak while I'm here, I'm also letting myself have some down time. We all need that occasionally. I'm grateful to have the opportunity to spend such time with people I love.
I hope you also have a chance to rest and recharge at some point. What works for you?
I live in Central Florida. We got a piece of Milton earlier this month. The picture below is of the drainage ditch in front of our house ...
