Busy!

Well, if I thought my summer was going to be carefree and laid back…..NOT!

I’m having fun, though. I leave late tomorrow afternoon for my drive to Maryland to see my family. We should arrive in Maryland on Sunday. While there we will spend time on the eastern shore and just hanging out with my children, my parents, and my siblings and their families.

We will leave Maryland around July 23 or 24 to drive to Tuscon for the Green Party of the United States National Committee Meeting in Tuscon, which will take place July 27 – 30. We plan to drive along the Texas/Mexican border on the way there and while in Tuscon, we hope to take a field trip to the border to witness the barriers that are being built.

From Tuscon we will drive home to West Jordan and plan to be back by August 1.

In the meantime, we have successfully prepared our gardens for our absence and are continuing to very actively engage in activism (and plan to stay engaged even while en route in our travels – email and phone are wonderful tools!). Beginning last night we are involved in a youth leadership conference, as part of the Community of Caring Initiative, with three of our students from school which continues today and into tomorrow. Today’s activities should be interesting as we are taking a field trip to Lee Caldwell’s ranch in Leehi – he is a Horse Whisperer.

Onward!
