Summer Time

Well, it's June. The month we associate with summer. It's a month of work and travel for me this year. I'm about half way through clearing my house out for my daughter to return. But even that plan is shaky. You see Lauren succeeded in returning to the work force after almost six months of unemployment. I'm proud of her but can she be really immature and thoughtless is some of the things she says. There are times when I feel she just doesn't get the fact that the world is not built around her interests, her plans and her desires. She is thinking twice about living in Glen Ellyn now that she's employed. Short-sighted little girl. Opportunity knocks to get firmly planted financially and she doesn't look for the door. Patrick now is a different story. I will comment on him at a later date. Today is Saturday. A good start to the day include a five mile walk to Lombard and return. It's nice to use the Prairie Path once more. I know so many people out there from my twenty years of running. I can't spend an hour on it without seeing somebody I know by name. Moving to Florida will be tough. I'm going to miss my Prairie Path friends. June is a travel month. Plans include Saugatuck, Michigan; Rosebud, Missouri; Dexter, Kansas; Cedar Rapids, Iows; and Mellen, Wisconsin. I'm chasing my interests, friends, family and my faith. I'll have more details as the trips unfold. For now, it's over and out. Ricky
