It’s hard for me to believe that the days are flying by at the rate of speed that they are, and that tomorrow is the 15th of the month of JUNE. JUNE! Where have the days gone? I know this isn’t the first time that I’ve mentioned how fast the time seems to be flying, and trust me- it probably won’t be the last.
Over the next few months, I have so much to look forward to. Granted- I look forward to each and every day, as it always brings something new, and usually something unexpected. I also usually learn something each and every day, useful tidbits of information that I can pack in my suitcase of knowledge and carry with me on this continued journey called life.
Marcel and I are still undecided about a vacation this year. We have a few ideas, but with the new car and other expenses, I’m just not sure we want to fork out the cash- but we’ll see what happens as the days and weeks unfold.
In less than three weeks one of my oldest, and dearest friends will arrive for 11 days of fun! I’ve already begun the countdown and been planning things that we can do on her arrival day, and the subsequent days that follow. She’ll turn 40 while she’s here, and I’ll turn 42. It will be great to celebrate my birthday with someone from home for a change, and we plan to do it in style, with lots of photographs to follow.
Next Sunday, I have the opportunity to meet up with someone I went to high school with. He and a team of five others are flying to Rwanda on a missionary trip and have an almost 12 hour layover here in Neverland. I’ve offered to spend most of the day with them, show them around, and give them a little feel of the city. It will be fun, plus I’m really excited about seeing Chris again after more than 20 years.
There is also the possiblity of meeting up with another friend that I know from online in October, because she may also have a layover here. She’s a wonderful person, and I hope we’ll have the opportunity to finally meet after all these years of knowing each other online.
Also in October, a friend of my brothers is going to be in the area. He and his wife are possibly going to add A’dam to their list of travels, and if they d0, Marcel and I will spend some time showing them around, plus getting to know them. I’m looking forward to it, and hope that the opportunity presents itself. I’m always excited when I get to spend time with people from home.
Right now, I’m going to pour myself a cup of java- head outside and spend some time in the sunshine. I need to vacuum, and I may do that before I go, but the rest of the day is mine- and I plan to enjoy every second of it.
