The in-laws have just left for their annual pilgrimage to the Adriatic Sea with 50 or so other over 70's.  They'll stay in one a the many hotels lining the beach and spend their days swimming and playing cars and getting dark as nuts.  Evenings are more cards and gabbing till all hours over coffee.  They'll sneak a mass in daily as these trips are organized by the church and they are accompanied by a local priest.  They have three full meals a day included in the price, lounge chairs and umbrellas on the beach, and a TV in every room.  What more could you want?

Grace and I have 3 weeks till we head back to Maine for the summer and we are counting the days.  Things have already started to wind down here.  Grace has had her last tennis lesson of the year, (a bottle of wine for the instructor and a rose plant for the mom who has driven her all year for me).  Two more sessions of Zumba then probably out for a pizza with instructor.  My last week of library classes are this week then just organizing and doing reports.  As I mentioned Grace starts finals this week too.  Better her than me as I have no brain left.  We leave less than 24 hours after last period in school.

The only thing remaining is my #@* license.  Test date June 14th, Grace's birthday.  That must be a good sign right?  xxoo me
