I've gotten a bit accomplished these last few days before we take off for three days at The Chautauqua Institute. I finished a scrapbook for my daughter and made this travel journal to take on our trip to Atlanta later this month. (Thanks to Ali Edwards and her article in Creating Keepsakes.)
Yesterday Tracy and I drove to Keuka Lake to pick out a campsite for our trip in August with our friends, Bob and Cathy. It was a windy, off-and-on rainy day, but we located a good site and then went to visit a few new wineries on Seneca Lake. Came home with two new whites and one new red to try. Had a good time at both of these:
Fox Run Winery. They have a nice looking cafe that might be worth a return trip.
Also finished a book I didn't have on my summer reading list: Reading, Writing, and Leaving Home by Lynn Freed. A memoir of sorts and ruminations on the writing process.
Looking forward to three days away. I'm taking my Digital Rebel and hope to get some practice using the manual settings. Also looking forward to some reading time (back to the list) and some time at the beach. Enjoy your holiday!
