We got teenager to the airport with no problems yesterday.
He is still on his way! It will be around 9:00 tonight, our time, when they finally arrive in Cairns

This was the only photo I could quickly snap while waiting for everyone to get checked in. You know it would be so embarrassing to pose for a photo for your mother!
Teenager used to go to summer camp for a few weeks each summer in NC. He started going the summer after 2nd grade! I don't think I was nearly as worried as I am now! Maybe because he was only a four hour car drive away and not halfway around the world!
It is hot as heck here! Almost 100º and it feels like 100% humidity! Not a good day to be outside! Even the pool doesn't feel good.
I have been catching up on laundry and cleaning since yesterday... how a family of four can make so much dirty laundry is beyond me!
Tomorrow is a good day though: pedi in the morning, a little shopping and then lunch with a friend. Then tomorrow night my pokeno group is gathering for a fun night.
I think teenage daughter and I may drive to my parent's house on Thursday to visit with my uncle who is visiting them from Pittsburgh. He was always my favorite uncle and he is getting older and I don't want to miss this opportunity to see him.
Thanks for some of the book suggestions! I have started a list and will be sure to check them out!
Stay cool!
