We drove Up North after Super Girl's soccer try outs. I admit it, the try outs didn't feel right last year, and they didn't feel right this year. Perhaps it just wasn't meant to be. Super Girl was sick and persevered. She made me proud in that she put forth a great effort despite feeling like crap. She is a true athlete and I want what is best for her. Hopefully this will lead us to the next right thing. Everything happens for a reason. It was nice to get away, even if just for a short weekend (we drove through the night and got Up North at 3:00am. It is nice to wake up there vs. having to get up and drive there.... there is more possibility in a day that starts at your destination....
We had a nice day at the beach. I looked forward to a glorious sunset, but it wasn't meant to be. Above is the fog filled sunset.... last year's show follows below....
Even against the majesty of last year.... this year's foggy sunset showed me glimpses of such beauty. The pinkish blob at the center below is really the sun.....
No matter, the coastline offered such views. How can you not love the Great Lakes?
How can this state suffer such a poor economy when it boasts such shorelines?
I drove home today in the sun. Hubby and the kids will stay several days more. They are done with school. I'm back to work and school tomorrow. I'm jealous, but I'm grateful they have this time together and away. May they spend it wisely!
May the fog of financial woes and family worries lift! I'm ready for more blue skies. I'm ready for the glory and the beauty... I'm ready for the fog and weariness to lift! May I find energy and wonder in the small joys of this coming week! May hubby and the kids find joy in the get away that my Mom made into a HOME. I wish to be with them, but I will catch up on my reading now, and plan on many great tomorrows Up North together.

I'm sure more blue skies are gonna come your way, and especially so if you keep taking such glorious photos as you do! Oh, and also by being such a fantastic mum.
Sounds like a beautiful trip.
Just catching up with you -- those roadside flowers (poppies?) were breathtaking. I love that you notice, and take the time to share with your kids, these little gifts!
Chin up, friend. It will get better! :)

Very pretty!
I'm with you on the woe lifting!
I hope you find that blue sky soon!
If you do.....could you send a little to the deep south? :)
Beautiful photos! I especially loved the foggy sunset! It's hard to cover true beauty and wonder... even if it's hidden in the clouds. I hope things begin to ease up financially. Boy do I know what that stress is all about!

In response to your comment on my blog, if you have to hand in the woman card then so do I, especially at this point. I even have a woman boss whom I can't stand. Such is life I guess... LOL!
It's great to be able to have the time to read through my favorite blogs again! :o)
Have a great night!

maybe fog really means that you are walking in the clouds............
