We're back

Back from vacation in Mexico. Great to get away, to just read and lay around and eat and sleep. What a life! Will be headed out from Mpls to SF today and back to work tomorrow. We went with Jess and Doug, and two of their friends, Matt and Wendy. It is quite different to go with the adult children rather than the days of dependent children. Ken and I did not stay up for one show, they start at 9:45 and we're tired by then, but when the kids were young, we went to every show! Content to lay on the beach and drift off rather than playing bocce ball or volleyball (like I ever did! I guess I did one time). One time when it was just Ken and me on vacation, we took meringue and salsa dance lessons, and I *almost* got it down.

It was terribly cool and cloudy in Mexico. But we still got sun. Went to ChichenItza to view the Mayan ruins. This is the first time back since before my Jess died. I was okay going. The spirits of the past still visit me but not sometimes, and this was one of them.

Got all my books read for school but no papers written. I'll have to set aside some time and begin drafting them while the material I read is still fresh.

Will send a picture when I get one.
